Bayley took on Lyra Valkyria at Saturday Night's Main Event, just weeks after her former friend turned on her.

    Lyra Valkyria revealed a much darker character ahead of the match, and it showed throughout her offence. Despite Lyra seemingly injuring her nose early in the match, she continued and was able to pick up a massive win.

    While the news following the match centered around Lyra's nose, it seems that she wasn't the only star to suffer an injury, since Bayley recently shared an update where she was able to reveal that she had injured her face as well.

    It appears that this happened in the closing moments of the match, but Bayley was still able to appear at Fanatics Fest yesterday alongside AJ Lee and Paige.

    The former champion is also expected to be on WWE RAW later tonight, but it's unclear if the story with Valkyria has now come to an end.

    The former Women's Champion has had a tough few months in WWE, and it seems that fans want the company to push her more.

    While this was a massive loss for her at Saturday Night's Main Event, it could be something huge for Lyra Valkyria if she is hoping to find her feet with this new side of her character.

    On the flip side, Bayley doesn't need to remain on RAW; there could be a place for her on SmackDown instead. It seems that she has reached a crossroads in her career, and now she is at her lowest; she can start to build towards a comeback.

    She is one of the most loved stars in the company, and it's unlikely she will be leaving WWE, but there could be some changes made. She has changed up her character in the past, and this could be the time for her to look at the same thing again.

    It will be interesting to see if there are any changes made or if she is on RAW tonight, since it's unclear what the story from Saturday Night's Main Event is leading towards.
