Bayley sends cryptic message ahead of WWE SmackDown
There seems to be tension brewing within Damage CTRL on WWE SmackDown, and Bayley has sent out a cryptic message ahead of tonight's show.
Last week, Bianca Belair announced her entry into the Women's Royal Rumble and declared that upon winning, the "IYO Era" will officially end. After saying this to the champion and the rest of her stablemates, The EST walked away.
IYO SKY, instead of directly telling Bayley, informed the latter through Dakota Kai that the Role Model should take care of Belair owing to her status as the leader of the faction. On Instagram earlier today, the 34-year-old shared a post indicating that she's confident in her current position.

Bayley's contributions to WWE in the last decade, especially the past year, have made many fans rally for her to walk out of Tropicana Field on January 27 with a Royal Rumble win.

During an appearance on Gabby AF, Bayley mentioned some people she'd love to see make a surprise appearance at Royal Rumble, with one name standing out among the others. Besides Mickie James, Lita, and Trish Stratus, she brought up AJ Lee.
According to the Role Model, she would not mind if AJ Lee throws her over the top rope if the latter decides to make her WWE return.
"In an interview I just had, they brought up AJ Lee since CM Punk is here. I wouldn't mind that. I might actually let her throw me over the top rope if she came back. That's how much I respect her," said Bayley.
This year's Royal Rumble event has an unpredictable nature to it, owing to so many top names who have joined the ride for the Road to WrestleMania 40. Current RAW Superstar and veteran Natalya hinted at a major debut on the show. Check out the details here.
