Published on

Backstage attack angle was a long-term creative decision, not a medical issue


Summary

– Bayley’s WrestleMania 41 removal was pre-planned, not due to injury

– WWE staged a backstage attack angle during the Countdown show

– Lyra Valkyria now awaits a surprise partner for the tag title match

WrestleMania 41 took a dramatic turn before the bell even rang, as Bayley was pulled from the Women’s Tag Team Championship match following a scripted backstage attack. But despite how it played out on TV, the move wasn’t due to a real injury.

On the WrestleMania Countdown show, WWE aired a segment showing Bayley unconscious backstage. The moment sparked immediate fan concern, but the company quickly layered in a storyline twist involving Adam Pearce questioning Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. While suspense built on-screen, behind the scenes the plan had been in motion for weeks.

According to PWInsider Elite, Bayley’s removal was not injury-related. “Bayley is out of WrestleMania, but she’s not injured. This has been WWE’s plan for several weeks,” the report confirmed.

Although the decision was mapped out beforehand, it hasn’t stopped talent from rallying around Bayley. The former champion is said to be deeply respected, and many within WWE expressed quiet sympathy once news of her removal circulated internally.

Bayley’s absence now leaves Lyra Valkyria in search of a last-minute partner. With no replacement announced yet, speculation is swirling over whether WWE will deliver a major return, a main roster debut, or an unexpected twist in the high-stakes tag match.
