Bayley has signed a new multi-year contract with WWE, according to False Finish. Sources within the company indicate that the agreement is already in place, though neither WWE nor Bayley has made an official announcement.
The development marks a shift from July, when WrestlingNoticias reported that her contract was set to expire at the end of 2026 if WWE did not add injury time. While no new terms had been reached at that point, company officials had already expressed strong interest in keeping her.
Separately, PWInsider noted Thursday that WWE is actively discussing creative plans for her return on Raw, with the backstage expectation that she will be back on the road in the coming weeks. The promotion’s frequent references to her on television had already signaled internal confidence that a deal would get done, even during her hiatus from programming.
Her last television appearance came on July 18 at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where she lost to Lyra Valkyria. Post-match, Valkyria attacked her again and drove her into the steel steps to write her off programming.
Bayley wrestled once more on July 26 at a WWE live event in Bakersfield, California, competing in a Triple Threat match for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Valkyria and champion Sol Ruca, but has remained out of action since.
