WWE Smackdown: The longest reigning WWE Smackdown women’s Champion Bayley has suffered an ACL injury and will be out of action for at least nine months.- This is a heartbreak for all her fans as the former women’s Champion was gearing up to face Bianca Belair for the Smackdown Women’s Championship coming Sunday in the Money at the Bank PPV event.
WWE Smackdown: Bayley out for nine months
Devastated by her injury, Bayley appeared in a WWE digital video dropped by the company. In the video, she was seen sitting on the couch with her left knee locked in a brace. She wasn’t happy looking down at her knee and said, “I know what you’re thinking, and you’re thinking this sucks.” She said that everyone wanted to see her beat Bianca at Money in the Bank and take the title from her.
She also went on to blame the fans for her injury and said that the fans “don’t care at all.” Catch some glimpse of the video here.

WWE Smackdown: Smackdown Women’s Title won’t be on the line at Money in the Bank
With Bayley getting injured and probably out of action for nine long months, Sonya Deville announced tonight on WWE Smackdown that Belair won’t defend her title at the Money in the Bank PPV event. Instead, she will defend her title against Carmella next week on WWE Smackdown in front of the live audiences. Next week’s Smackdown will take place on July 16 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Bayley’s departure might see her return as a babyface because it has been two years since 2019 we have seen the heel side of the 32-year old former Smackdown Women’s Champion. This break could be a blessing in disguise for Bayley’s character change. Stay tuned for further injury updates on Bayley.
