Bayley is deservingly counted among the respected performers on WWE's stacked roster today, irrespective of gender. Though her fans were disappointed to see her make only a low-key appearance on RAW's Netflix debut, she has now made an announcement that's sure to get the wrestling universe buzzing.
The Role Model was spotted talking to RAW GM Adam Pearce backstage on the much-talked-about episode of the show. As expected, this quickly led to fans wondering if Bayley was negotiating a move to the red brand going forward. The 35-year-old even hinted at this with her social media activity following the event.
Bayley was in attendance at an ice hockey match recently, where she came to support her home team, the San Jose Sharks. In an interview during the contest, she confirmed appearing at RAW next week, which also emanates from San Jose. The Role Model also teased wrestling in front of her home crowd next Monday night.
"Yes, January 13th, this coming Monday. SAP Center, tickets on sale at Ticketmaster. I'll be making an appearance on Monday Night RAW. I don't know if I'll be on the show. But we got a few matches at the end of the show that I'll definitely be a part of," said Bayley. (0:09 - 0:20)

Bayley addresses her retirement plans from WWE
A few weeks back in an interview, Bayley was quizzed about when she would hang up her wrestling boots. The 35-year-old star revealed that she still had the desire and mileage to go for a few more years. She also mentioned that she wanted to face Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez on WWE's main roster before calling it quits.
“I want to [wrestle] for as long as I can. I don’t want to go overboard, but I’ve still got some time left. I want to be able to cement a legacy that’s lasting — hopefully, I’ll be around when [current NXT stars] Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez get here so I can wrestle them and fulfill my big old ego," said Bayley.
There's no doubt the former WWE Women's Champion would continue to be an invaluable member of the company's women's roster until her retirement.
