Bayley and Aaron Solow first met while competing on the independent scene a few years before joining WWE. The two wrestlers dated for several years before announcing their engagement in 2016. Nonetheless, their relationship ended earlier this year.

Last February, Solow posted a statement on his Twitter account explaining why he and Bayley broke up.

"Pam (Bayley) and I have come to the realization that we have a completely different idea of what we want our future to look like, because of this we feel that it would be in our best interests to call off our engagement and end our relationship," he wrote.

The current AEW star also disclosed that he and his ex-fiancée remain good friends:

"We have a lot of great memories together that we’ll forever cherish. We’ve agreed to remain friends and will continue to support each other in our careers and lives," he added.

Solow had previously competed in WWE. He wrestled in several matches on RAW, 205 Live, and NXT between 2014 and 2017. In 2020, Bayley's ex-fiancé joined Tony Khan's company. He is currently a regular competitor in AEW.
