The closing moments of the Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez match on Monday Night Raw ended in chaos. After securing the win, Valkyria was ambushed in a two-on-one assault by Perez and Raquel Rodriguez.
When the numbers looked overwhelming, help came from an unexpected source: Bayley. Returning to WWE programming, she hit the ring to even the odds and drive off the attackers.
But instead of a straightforward reunion, Bayley’s actions took an unusual turn. Rather than celebrating with Valkyria, she began hugging members of the ringside crew — first commentators Joe Tessitore and Corey Graves, then ring announcer Alicia Taylor, and finally referee Jessika Carr.
The display echoed her original “hugger” persona from NXT, hinting at a superstar caught in the middle of an identity crisis. The scene left the WWE Universe questioning which version of Bayley has truly returned.
