On last week's edition of WWE SmackDown, Bayley was pinned by Candice LeRae in a shocking turn of events. On X (fka Twitter), she seemingly exposed LeRae's tag team partner Indi Hartwell.
During their time in NXT, LeRae and Hartwell were part of The Way. In 2023, Hartwell first appeared on the main roster during a backstage segment on RAW. Earlier this year, Hartwell and LeRae unsuccessfully challenged The Kabuki Warriors for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships before failing to dethrone Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair at the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event.
On X, Bayley shared a card with Hartwell's message on it. The former NXT Women's Champion briefly explained The Role Model's influence on her career.
Check out the tweet shared by Bayley:
Top WWE star blasted, compared to Winnie the Pooh RIGHT HERE
Despite her admiration for Bayley, it was Hartwell's distraction that led to LeRae securing the victory for her and Nia Jax on last week's SmackDown. The 39-year-old superstar pinned Bayley to get the win.
Bayley revealed her version of the WWE Four Horsewomen
Bayley, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks (aka Mercedes Mone) were originally recognized as The Four Horsewomen of WWE. The Role Model has picked her modern version of the group.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Bayley named Indi Hartwell, Roxanne Perez, Jacy Jayne, and Cora Jade as the modern version of The Four Horsewomen. She said:
"I always say the same people, but Indi Hartwell, Roxanne Perez, Jacy Jayne and Cora Jade. They're a very tight-knit group and they remind me a lot of us back then, how they all push each other... They are also very different, different personalities, different styles in the ring. In the back, they bring out the best in each other."
Bayley started the year with several major accomplishments, as she won the Women's Royal Rumble Match and captured the WWE Women's Championship by defeating IYO SKY at WrestleMania XL.
Fast forward to the SummerSlam Premium Live Event, she dropped the title to Nia Jax, courtesy of Tiffany Stratton's interference. She also failed to win the rematch which occurred at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event.
