A new report has offered a fresh update on Bayley’s status for WWE SummerSlam in Nashville, Tennessee.
Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley has been out of the ring since early July 2021 with a serious knee injury.
Heading into Money In The Bank 2021, she had been set to meet Belair in an “I Quit” match, but sustained an injury during a training session. It was later reported that the former NXT star had sustained a torn ACL while performing a chain wrestling drill.
At the time it was suggested that the former Raw Women’s Champion would be out of action for around nine months, a timescale which would have seen her return to action in April 2022.
Speculation on when, exactly, Bayley will make her return to the ring has been rife for some time now, with it being suggested earlier in the year that she would be brought in for Money in the Bank, however, that turned out not to be the case.
Earlier in July, it was reported that the star had been seen training in the Performance Centre for several days, giving many fans hope that she will return to action in time for WWE SummerSlam.
Now, PWInsider has offered a new update on Bayley’s status for The Biggest Party Of The Summer, stating that she is scheduled to be in the host city, Nashville, for Summerslam weekend.
Bayley’s last match took place over a year ago on June 21st, 2021, when she teamed with Seth Rollins to defeat Bianca Belair and Cesaro – now AEW’s Claudio Castagnoli.
