After moving up from WWE NXT to the main roster, Bayley experienced several WrestleMania appearances in a row. However, after turning 36, she was either given minimal spotlight or completely removed from the event three times. At WrestleMania 40, she claimed victory over Iyo Sky to capture the WWE Women’s Championship but was once again left out of WrestleMania 41. Speaking on The Undertaker’s podcast, Six Feet Under, Bayley revealed that she was taken off the WrestleMania 41 card just a day before the show. She described the situation as a test from the universe, not the company, and shared how tough it was, especially since she had just developed a great rapport with her planned opponent, Lyra Valkyrie. Bayley expressed her disappointment, reflecting on the hard work she’d put into preparing for the event and how the storyline context made the setback somewhat easier to handle.
Fan Take: Bayley’s candidness about her WrestleMania 41 exclusion highlights the unpredictable nature of WWE’s storytelling and roster management, reminding fans that even top stars face challenges. This news underscores the real human emotions behind the spectacle and could inspire fresh storylines that keep the sport dynamic and engaging.
