It appears Bayley won't be leaving WWE anytime in the near future.
The belief within WWE is that Bayley has already re-signed with the company, according to False Finish. She will be more involved with WWE beyond just being an on-screen talent, although what exactly her other duties will be is unknown.
PWInsider has also noted that Bayley is expected to remain with WWE and there have been creative pitches for the 37-year-old to resurface on Monday Night Raw. The expectation is Bayley will be back on the road likely within the next few weeks.
Bayley has been absent from WWE TV since a post-match attack from Lyra Valkyria at the July 18 episode of Saturday Night's Main Event. It was noted after that show that Bayley's contract was expected to expire around the beginning of 2027 and she had a decision to make, with the former WWE Women's Champion expected to have interest from both WWE and AEW.
Bayley did tease a potential appearance at AEW All In 2026 on social media, with the post considered "eyebrow-raising" by some backstage within WWE. It appears Bayley won't be reuniting with Mercedes Mone in All Elite Wrestling, however.
Bayley has been a part of WWE since December 2012 and she has been one of the top stars in the WWE women's division over the past 14 years, first in NXT and then on the WWE main roster. Across her WWE career, Bayley is a one-time NXT Women's Champion, one-time Raw Women's Champion, two-time SmackDown Women's Champion, one-time WWE Women's Champion, and two-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion with Sasha Banks (Mercedes Mone).
