Fresh off her epic Royal Rumble victory, Bayley strutted onto Raw this week, basking in the glory of Damage CTRL's dominance. She pointed out her glaring absence from the Rumble poster, only to stand tall as the last woman standing. ## Bayley reveled in being on top, boasting about shattering Rhea Ripley's endurance record in the match. But the reigning champ, Ripley, wasn't about to let Bayley have all the spotlight. She crashed the party, reminding everyone that Bayley only won because she wasn't even in the ring. ## Ripley was just about to drop some serious shade about Bayley wasting her title shot on her, when Nia Jax, the ultimate party crasher, laid Ripley out cold. Jax pummeled Ripley with brutal leg drops and capped it off with her devastating Annihilator. ## With Ripley writhing in pain, Jax turned to Bayley and offered a chilling ultimatum: pick anyone else for WrestleMania, because Ripley's ticket is officially punched to "nap city." Bayley, unfazed by the chaos, simply smirked and declared that she'll reveal her WrestleMania opponent on the February 2nd episode of SmackDown. ## What should @itsBayleyWWE do?!#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/N4MTEJAT8S— WWE (@WWE) January 30, 2024 ## WWE SmackDown (2/2) Updated ## -Roman Reigns' road to WrestleMania begins ## -Logan Paul returns## -Bayley makes her WrestleMania 40 announcement## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

During a WWE live event in Salisbury, MD on Sunday night, Bayley suffered an unfortunate injury in a 4-way match also involving Charlotte Flair, Women's World Champion Asuka, and Bianca Belair. ## The incident occurred when Asuka fell down, causing Bayley to seemingly halt her movement to avoid running into her, resulting in her own fall. Interestingly, this was a non-contact injury. Bayley clutched her knee, prompting the referee to signal for medical assistance by raising the "X" sign. Consequently, the match was abruptly concluded, and they swiftly proceeded to the finish. ## During a Q&A session, Mike Johnson of Pwinsider mentioned that WWE is awaiting the results of medical tests before making any decisions regarding the appropriate course of action for Bayley's injury. ## Johnson wrote, “I was told that they were waiting to get some medical tests back so they could properly diagnose and decide on a course of action. I would hope the fact she walked out of the arena that night under her own power, even limping, is a good sign.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
