After a last-minute change to a planned championship match left her without a clear spot, Bayley may have found a new, high-profile role for WWE SummerSlam. A public social media exchange with the event’s host, Cardi B, has ignited speculation that the two are headed for a confrontation at the two-night event in August.
The interaction began when Cardi B responded to past comments from Triple H, who had suggested no one could stop her if she wanted to get physical at SummerSlam.
“Listen @TripleH these girls trying me,” Cardi B wrote.
Triple H fueled the fire with his response, writing, “I guess we’ll see who steps to you in person at #SummerSlam…”
It was then that Bayley, now seemingly available, interjected herself into the conversation.
“I’m free,” Bayley tweeted.
Cardi B quickly replied, continuing the playful but provocative exchange.
“🙄🙄 @TripleH leave her at home…” she posted.
This development is significant given that original plans for SummerSlam reportedly had Bayley challenging Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Those plans were altered, with Lyra Valkyria instead getting the match against Lynch, leaving a top star like Bayley off the card for WWE’s biggest summer event.
If this exchange with Cardi B is a planned storyline, it provides a clear and intriguing new direction for Bayley at MetLife Stadium. WWE has confirmed Cardi B will host the first-ever two-night SummerSlam on August 2 and 3, and her interaction with Bayley aligns with the company’s strategy of integrating mainstream celebrities into major storylines to attract a broader audience.
