The ongoing conflict between Bayley and Lyra Valkyria could be heading toward a dramatic conclusion with a rare Hair vs. Hair match, according to recent discussions on Wrestling Observer Radio. The two former tag team allies, who have become bitter rivals on RAW, are reportedly being considered for this high-stakes stipulation to finalize their feud.
Their falling out began on the June 22 edition of WWE RAW when Valkyria turned on the 37-year-old star after the pair failed to win the Women’s Tag Team Championships from Brie Bella and Paige. Their animosity escalated at the July Sunday Night’s Main Event at Madison Square Garden, where Valkyria defeated Bayley before launching a physical attack that saw her slam the veteran onto steel steps.
Following that loss, Bayley took a hiatus from programming, a period marked by speculation regarding her contract status. She made her return on the September 7 episode of RAW, disrupting Valkyria’s opportunity by costing her a Money in the Bank qualifying match. Their tension continued on the September 21 broadcast, where Valkyria secured another win over the former Damage CTRL leader by using the ropes for leverage during a roll-up.
Amidst her current storylines, Bayley recently paid tribute to the late wrestling superfan Rick Achberger, widely known as Sign Guy. The WWE veteran honored his memory by sharing a video of a past lighthearted encounter she had with him during her time as a heel. She expressed that she had admired the iconic fan since her childhood and emphasized how much the professional wrestling community would miss him.
