Top WWE Star Addresses Absence From Friday’s SmackDown

Coming out of this week’s WWE SmackDown, fans were wondering where one top star was and why she missed the show.

Although Bayley was absent from the show, WWE did announce that she would take on Chelsea Green in the semi-finals of the women’s US Title match in next week’s edition of SmackDown. A week ago, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Bayley, Naomi, and Iyo Sky beat The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez), Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae in WarGames at the WWE Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event.

While speaking on this week’s edition of The SmackDown LowDown, Bayley stated she had the week off to rest due to the damage she took in WarGames.

“What are you doing, telling them I’m not 100%? Are you working for Chelsea Green, dude? I don’t think anyone’s 100% coming out of war games. That match is so brutal. We all know the stakes we take. All the risks we take just by joining the teams and being a part of it. I was in there from the very beginning, starting with Nia Jax. It took a toll. But let’s just say I’m happy that I got this week off to rest, okay? I get to rest. I get to study. I get to watch some Chelsea Green matches.”
