"I would enjoy that" - Bayley contemplates possible post-retirement plans in WWE

Bayley has been out of the main event scene since losing the WWE Women’s Championship to Nia Jax at the 2024 SummerSlam. She was also removed from WrestleMania 41 at the last minute despite securing a title match. Interestingly, the 36-year-old has now shed light on things she could possibly do after her retirement.

Bayley recently appeared on the latest episode of The Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast. The Role Model mentioned that she has been working in production and sitting with a headset for the Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY vs Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss match on RAW. When asked if she would go into production after retirement, she said:

“I don’t know creative-wise if I would be in the writer’s room or anything good like that. Maybe producing. I would enjoy that. This Monday, I sat for the girls’ match with the headset. I’ve done it a few times. I produced stuff in NXT. It’s very hard. I don’t know if I’d be a good producer right now. I see myself more as a coach or, if I were to open a school. I know coaching is very different than producing. When I think about however long I’m going to be wrestling, there are still all the girls that I want to see them grow in their careers. Roxanne (Perez), she’s 23, if I could be a producer and produce her match, that would be awesome. I have thought, ‘Maybe I should try to learn how to do that better,’ so I can be around and be part of it. Just wear another hat. I don’t know about creative-wise or in the writer’s room. That sounds scary,” she said. [H/T Fightful]

Bayley’s current gimmick is seeing her play the role of a mentally unstable character. She underwent the character change after costing Lyra Valkyria her Women’s Intercontinental Championship match against Becky Lynch at the 2025 SummerSlam.

The Role Model became unstable since Valkyria could no longer become the IC Champ as long as The Man held the title. Right now, Valkyria and The Hugger work together as a tag team.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria are eyeing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria had a backstage conversation with Adam Pearce on this week’s episode of RAW. The duo asked the red-branded General Manager to let them into the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship picture.

Pearce said that he would have a clearer picture of what to do after the Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss versus Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY match. However, the Kabuki Warriors, the reigning Women’s Tag Team Champs, caused last-minute interference, leaving neither team with a clear win.

Feeling stepped on, The Role Model and Valkyria rushed into the ring to attack Asuka and Kairi Sane. The duo had almost gained control of the situation before Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez took everybody out.

The Miracle Kid has promised to bring all the gold back to The Judgment Day. This makes things harder for Bayley and Valkyria, who have yet to hold the tag titles together. It would be interesting to see what lies ahead for The Role Model.
