The WWE universe is abuzz with speculation after Triple H, the company’s Chief Content Officer, shared a poster for an upcoming premium live event on his social media, with two notable absences: Bayley and Damian Priest. The WWE Women’s Champion and Priest, who successfully defended their titles at WWE Backlash 2024, were mysteriously left off the poster, prompting questions about their involvement in the next premium live event.
Backlash 2024, held in Lyon, France, saw Bayley successfully defend her WWE Women’s Championship in a Triple Threat match against Tiffany Stratton and Naomi. Meanwhile, Damian Priest picked up a win over Jey Uso, thanks in part to interference from The Judgment Day. However, despite their recent victories, both champions are conspicuously absent from the poster, sparking rumors about their potential absence from the next premium live event.
Triple H’s social media post has left fans wondering if the omission is simply a design choice or a hint that Bayley and Priest won’t be involved in the upcoming event. The latter possibility raises more questions, given that the Women’s World Championship, United States Championship, and Intercontinental Championship were not defended at Backlash 2024. Could this be a sign of a shift in the WWE’s title picture?
The omission has left fans and pundits alike scratching their heads, with some speculating about the potential implications for the WWE’s storylines and title picture.
Meanwhile, in other WWE news, senior wrestling journalist Bill Apter has voiced his criticism of the company’s decision to have Carmelo Hayes, a former NXT Champion, lose his first match on WWE SmackDown to Cody Rhodes. Apter argued that Hayes’ loss could have been booked differently, sparking a wider debate about the WWE’s creative decisions.
As the WWE universe continues to speculate about Bayley and Priest’s absence from the poster, all eyes will be on tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW for any potential clues or updates. Will the WWE address the mystery surrounding the poster, or will fans be left in the dark until the next premium live event? Only time will tell.
