She's been on the main roster for basically a decade and has held the world title a number of times (plus a Rumble and a MITB). You can't really expect more main event/title runs unless you strike gold with a new gimmick or people start getting injured, specially when you are not perceived as a real Ace by the company. If anything, she's already been treated as well as she was ever going to be.

I get the frustration by she honestly can't blame the company at this stage of her career. If she truly believes she has another run in her, she has to go elsewhere. Whether she does or not will tell us what really matters to her (and if it's money and being comfortable in WWE, there's nothing wrong with that).

I think it's more that Becky and Charlotte and now probably Rhea and Tiffy receive preferential treatment and chance after chance, no gimmick changes needed for Charlotte... before them it was Alexa and Ronda

Again, Bailey's been in the company for more than a decade , she already knows the WWE sees other people as more important to the company than her.

And again, I get the frustration. But she has accomplished a fukk ton in WWE even with the perception of being "lesser" than other women in terms of startdom or "Ace" material. So, if she truly wants another run, she has to do what she's always done to get the chances she's gotten. If she "doesn't know" what to do at this point of her career, then the answer is leave for another company because that's what wrestlers do when their run is over with 1 promotion. She has to realize she has reached a ceiling unless people get injured or she somehow catches fire with a new gimmick.

They wouldn’t care, what they gonna do? Bench Jalen?

Travis Kelce went to Eagles games all the time when Jason was playing :yeshrug:

Wrestling is a little different.
I’m sure they trust Bayley to go to AEW.
They just don’t trust AEW.
Show Bayley in the crowd, on camera, smiling and waving, with Tony Shavonnie saying “Even Pamela knows where the real wrestling is.”
AEW can manipulate it.
“Yeah she came backstage and was talking about how much better we are than WWE.”

Honestly i think Bayley is the game changer AEW needs. I think
this will be the one singing that makes a difference.

Maybe?
Only threat she poses is that she is well liked, so she may be able to influence others to follow suit.
Outside of that, it’ll just be a trade, Mariah May for Bayley.
Mariah is the fresher face, so WWE won’t care if Bayley left.

Does anybody think Wrestlemania needed Bayley on it?
Nope, not even at WM40 honestly. I liked her NXT stuff back in the day and her recent mini return there, but other than that she’s been fast forward/skip status on the E shows. :ld:

Breh, I swear there is no more entitled group of wrestlers than "the 4 horsewomen" ever. They are never ever happy unless they're beating each other for titles and even then they're mad because they didn't go over.

They're fukking old news. And I loved Sasha for a long time, but breh there's a new crop of woman wrestlers. Sami Zayn wasnt even on the mania card nor had a story Where was Sheamus??

They're never fukkin happy

Charlotte comes back to win the rumble, surprised she lost the title match but she usually win

Mercedes got 100000 titles like a video game

You see what Becky just did

Lmaooooo

Kind of crazy that Bayley peaked during the pandemic.

I saw a Reddit comment that said that a major reason for Bayley losing her momentum was because she got injured. She was gone for about a year or so and during that time, they were performing in front of fans again. Everyone who started gaining success in the Thunderdome (Roman, Jey) were able to capitalize off that and keep their success. By the time she came back, WWE was already putting their resources into other women and she didn't have the same spark as before. Her winning the Rumble, turning face, and feuding with Iyo should have been a bigger deal, but it got drowned out by the Rock situation and as far as the women went, Rhea/Becky was treated as the money match.

Another comment I saw said that beating Bayley doesn't mean anything because she puts everyone over. Charlotte doesn't lose often, so Rhea and Tiffany benefited a lot from beating her. Bianca officially became a top star when she beat Becky at WrestleMania, and Liv bragged about being the last person to beat Becky before she came back. When Bayley loses, nobody elevates from it. I think Roxanne could have benefited a lot from working with her, but the fact that they dropped the feud means they don't even think it's worth doing. They would have never done that to Charlotte, and it's clear that Becky is only there to work with Lyra, so they can't do that to her either.
