Bayley questions former WWE Women's Champion's loyalty ahead of a major match on next week's SmackDown

WWE Superstar Bayley returned to in-ring action on the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, securing a decisive victory alongside former SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi. After the show, the two women seemingly engaged in a heated exchange on social media.

The Role Model and The Queen of Glow faced off against Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton in a Tornado Tag Team Match. The match had a unique stipulation: the female star who pinned the heel duo would earn a title shot. However, the contest on the blue brand ended in a controversial fashion when both Naomi and Bayley simultaneously pinned the reigning Women's Champion.

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis announced backstage that Nia Jax's challenger would be determined in a one-on-one match between the two babyfaces on the following week's show.

Naomi posted a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter), expressing her unconditional love for The Role Model. However, she left the message unfinished.

"Love you regardless," wrote Naomi.

In response, Bayley encouraged The Queen of Glow to complete her thought, curious about the full expression of her feelings.

"Regardless of what..?" she wrote.

WWE veteran believes Bayley is headed for a pointless reunion

Wrestling veteran Vince Russo has offered his perspective on the potential creative direction for The Role Model following her loss to Nia Jax at SummerSlam 2024.

Before WrestleMania 40, Bayley was betrayed by her former Damage CTRL teammates, IYO SKY and Dakota Kai. Speaking on Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, the former WWE writer noted that Bayley may eventually reconcile with Damage CTRL despite their current animosity.

Russo suggested that The Role Model's reunion with her former stablemates appears to be the most probable direction because Damage CTRL has turned babyface now.

"Knowing them the Damage CTRL is babyface now. Knowing them she (Bayley) makes up with the Damage CTRL. Where else is she gonna go with her bro? Where else?"

Only time will tell if Naomi and Bayley's friendship will remain intact after their match next week.
