Bayley Makes Triumphant Return on 9/15 WWE Raw

For the past couple of months, Bayley has been involved in many disputes with Lyra Valkyria. They faced off for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship back in April, with Valkyria retaining. The two women faced off in a Triple Threat match at WWE Evolution for the same championship when Becky Lynch was the champion.

A tag team gauntlet win, also in April, led to a Women’s Tag Team title shot in July. They were unsuccessful, as Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez retained their championships. It seems the two women can’t escape each other. Since that loss, Bayley has taken a hiatus from television.

Vignettes have aired since then with Bayley fighting to control multiple personalities. It was only a question of when she returned to the ring. When that happened, what personality would she bring with her?

Bayley Helps Valkyria Out of a Tough Situation

The September 15, 2025, episode of WWE Monday Night Raw featured a match between Valkyria and Perez. After a pinfall loss against Rodriguez the previous week, it was time for her to face the other women’s tag team champion in Judgment Day. The match wasn’t going to be easy, as Perez is a very tough opponent able to dismantle even the strongest of women.

It was a pretty back-and-forth battle until Perez made an unfortunate error. She applied a crossface to Valkyria, but was unable to lock it in. Valkyria countered with Nightwing pretty easily, leading to the pin and the victory.

After the match, Perez and Rodriguez started to beat her up in the ring. It was looking pretty bad for her, but then an unexpected acquaintance made her presence known. Bayley returned after a long hiatus, attacking both members of the Judgment Day. Afterwards, it was just her and Valkyria in the ring.

It looked as if they were going to interact with each other, but that wasn’t the case. She ran past her and started hugging everyone around her, bringing back Hugger Bayley. The fans definitely appreciate that, as that was her gimmick when she made her main roster debut. But what would happen between the two women? Later on in the show, Valkyria went to check on Bayley and give thanks for what she did against the Judgment Day.
