Bayley Loss Sparks AEW Speculation After RAW – Fan discussion intensified after Bayley came up short in a qualifier on the February 16 episode of WWE RAW in Memphis. The match saw Asuka secure the win, leaving Bayley out of the Women’s Elimination Chamber field and ending her immediate hopes of earning a championship opportunity on that stage.
Following the loss, fan reaction online shifted quickly, with some supporters circulating mock graphics placing her in All Elite Wrestling and encouraging a potential move once her WWE deal expires in late 2026. The conversation included speculation about a reunion with Mercedes Moné, given their history together and established connection outside WWE.
Others view the situation differently. Some fans believe a move could provide a fresh direction and spotlight, while others point to concerns about roster management and television time in AEW, arguing that even established names can struggle to find consistent positioning. The debate reflects a wider discussion about Bayley’s current role and how she fits within WWE’s crowded women’s division.
The qualifier loss also prevented Bayley from sharing the Elimination Chamber match with top names such as Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton, both central figures in the division’s current direction. Despite the setback, Bayley has not addressed the online speculation publicly and continues focusing on her on-screen momentum.
She remains aligned with tag partner Lyra Valkyria as they build toward WrestleMania 42. The immediate focus appears to be on securing a strong position heading into the event rather than responding to outside chatter about her future.
Fan reaction often follows major losses, especially for established stars with a long track record. In this case, the discussion highlights both Bayley’s standing in the industry and the attention surrounding her next steps, whether inside WWE or beyond when her current contract cycle reaches its end.
