WrestleMania 41 featured some huge title matches and it was announced ahead of time that Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez would be defending the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Bayley & Lyra Valkyria.
However, before night 1 of WrestleMania 41 kicked off WWE did an angle which showed that Bayley had been attacked backstage. Bayley was then pulled from the match and Adam Pearce told Lyra Valkyria that she had 24 hours to find a new partner. Ultimately Becky Lynch returned to team up with Lyra and they won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania.
Bishop Dyer (formerly known as Baron Corbin in WWE) recently talked about WWE’s decision to pull Bayley from the card on Busted Open Radio, and Dyer held nothing back while expressing his feelings about the situation.
“I’ve had a few days to kind of calm down because it made me extremely angry…F*** you, that’s my sentiment. I mean, to do it to Bayley of all people. Someone who’s been there through COVID…has made lemonade out of dogs*** repeatedly…is a model f***ing employee.”
“I don’t give a s*** if she knew the storyline [ahead of time]. Please, do all this, take all these bumps, work your ass off, and two days before we’re gonna replace you…And I know Bayley’s going to be fine…but that is a moment and it is bulls*** all the way through.”
