As we reported earlier today here on eWrestlingNews.com (see below), Bayley is out of action for at least nine months with a torn ACL due to a freak accident during a training session in preparation for her matchup with Bianca Belair at Money in the Bank. On this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Bayley appeared (via satellite) to address her injury and had some harsh remarks for her replacement, who turned out to be Carmella.
Speaking of Carmella, as announced by Sonya Deville, we will see Bianca Belair defend the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Carmella on next week’s episode of SmackDown.
The original match booked for Money in the Bank between Bayley and Bianca Belair is obviously off the table and scrapped completely. Carmella has been removed from the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match and was replaced by Liv Morgan.
As for Bayley, she said that she knows the fans wanted to see her regain her title but she’s hurt now, and then said she actually realizes that the fans don’t care that she did all this for them.
