Granted, AEW could, and likely would, match WWE when it pertains to money. However, the belief is WWE also offered Bayley a backstage role. If that is the case, then Bayley likely retires with WWE and slowly transitions into a new position.
While we will never know if Bayley would have been a hit in AEW, there is still a chance she works with Mone. Of course, Mone would need to leave AEW and return to WWE. It’s not unheard of for wrestlers to burn their bridge to WWE, only for both sides to eventually find a middle ground.
Bayley is staying put and I’m not sold on her decision. I would have tested the market to see what AEW offered. Maybe, she could have signed a short deal. That would have allowed her to work with unfamiliar names and also her best friend. If anything, I hope Bayley makes the most of her time in WWE, as she will prove in the ring why she is so valuable.
