Bayley recently gave a new update on Charlotte Flair's recovery from a long-term knee injury.
On December 8, 2023, Flair suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus during a match against Asuka on SmackDown. The injury ruled her out of action for around nine months, meaning she was not cleared to compete at WrestleMania XL.
In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Senior Editor Bill Apter, Bayley said she is excited to see her friend wrestle again.
"I hate seeing people get hurt and injured and taken out, especially during this time of the year, and miss WrestleMania. Charlotte I've known for so long. I had her first match ever, so I was just in that position [injured] a couple of years ago and I know how hard it is. I'm excited to have her back, and I know she's itching for it," said Bayley.

Bayley added that Flair is making better progress than initially expected as she steps up her recovery and the two stars have been in touch recently.
"She's way ahead of schedule, it looks like, and I text her all the time like, 'I hate you! How are you already doing this? How are you already doing that?' She is gonna be a freaking force when she gets back," she stated. [4:05 – 4:17]
