Bayley has failed to connect with fans since arriving on the main roster, something which can largely be blamed on the way she's been booked. Unfortunately, there's more bad news for the former Women's Champion today as it's been announced by WWE that she suffered an injury to her right shoulder during her match with Nia Jax on Monday night's episode of RAW.
Apparently, the diagnosis is currently inconclusive due to the amount of swelling and Bayley is taking the week off to rest her shoulder so doctors can re-evaluate her and see where things stand.
"Everything just tensed up around it," Bayley says. "I’ve never had an injury like this before, so I can’t really know what it is. I guess we’re gonna see." Dr. Chris Amann adds: "We’ve determined the injury is shoulder-related, and she will be going under further diagnostic testing later this week to determine the extent of the injury and also establish a timetable for recovery."
It's unclear how much of this is storyline and how much is real but if Bayley is badly injured, we can probably forget about her facing Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam for the title. If that's the case, Sasha Banks will probably step up to battle the current champion but this is definitely not a setback that Bayley needs right now. As always, stay tuned for additional updates on her condition.
