Recent reports have indicated that WWE’s Bayley should return to the company at Summerslam 2022. The former champion has been absent from WWE TV for over a year, after a horrific ACL tear she suffered while working out in the WWE Performance Center put her on the shelf.
It was reported by PWInsider that Bayley will return to WWE at Summerslam weekend, being booked to be in Nashville for Summerslam weekend. This would put her return firmly at the event itself, marking a huge return for one of the biggest stars of the WWE women’s division.
