Bayley Returns On WWE RAW
Bayley is officially back. During Monday's episode of WWE RAW, Bayley returned, and sent a big message to Becky Lynch. Bayley's return came after a back-and-forth between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria. Advertisement Valkyria came down to the ring to face Lynch, and while Lynch was taunting her, Bayley ambushed the reigning WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion. Bayley laid in some punches to Lynch, then threw her out of the ring. Lynch ran into Valkyria, and quickly ran off before anything else could happen. For Bayley, it's the first time we've seen her since Lynch attacked her at WWE WrestleMania 41. Lynch's attack allowed her to team up with Valkyria, and they promptly won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships the night after. After that, Lynch would subsequently attack Valkyria after the pair lost the titles. While it's unknown exactly what Bayley will be up to, her intent seems clear. With Lynch also now having a singles title to go after, Bayley seems ready to immediately throw herself into the picture.
