Following the Money in the Bank 2025 event, WWE RAW viewers were in for a surprise when Bayley made her return and attacked Becky Lynch. The Women's IC Champion was ambushed by the Hugger just as she was about to celebrate her victory, creating a buzz among fans.

Bayley seeks revenge for WrestleMania attack

At WrestleMania 41, Bayley was originally scheduled to compete in a Women's Tag Team title match with Lyra Valkyria. However, she was mysteriously attacked on Night 1 of the event, leading to Becky Lynch's return and a subsequent alliance with Lyra. Lynch later turned heel on RAW and confessed to being the one behind the attack on the former Women's Champion. Bayley's return on RAW can be attributed to her desire for revenge against the Women's IC Champion for the WrestleMania incident.

To set up a title match against Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch's victory over Lyra Valkyria at Money in the Bank 2025 set the stage for a potential title match between Lynch and Bayley. The attack on Lynch indicates Bayley's readiness to challenge the current champion, hinting at a future showdown, possibly at Night of Champions or Evolution 2025 Premium Live Event.
