Bayley is expected back on Monday Night RAW on September 7, according to PWInsider’s Mike Johnson. WWE hasn’t announced her for the show.
RAW airs live from the Legacy Arena at the BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama, at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix. Liv Morgan is set to defend the Women’s World Championship against Stephanie Vaquer, and Money in the Bank qualifying matches begin.
A return this week would be a significant change from PWInsider’s own update last Thursday. That report said creative pitches involving Bayley were being discussed for RAW, with her return expected within the next few weeks.
The new report narrows that window considerably and puts Bayley in the plans for this week’s show. There is no word yet on which storyline was chosen for her return.
WrestlePurists @WrestlePurists Follow As reported last week, there had been some creative pitches for her on the RAW brand.

2:24 PM · Sep 7, 2026Bayley has not been on WWE TV since the July 18 Saturday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Lyra Valkyria beat her former partner that night and kept up the attack after the match, sending Bayley into the ring post and the steel steps.
She has still worked live events while off TV. Her most recent match came on July 26 in Bakersfield, California, a Triple Threat Match against Valkyria and then-Women’s Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruca. Ruca got the win.
WWE hasn’t confirmed whether Bayley’s return will immediately restart her feud with Valkyria or put her in a new story on RAW.
