EPISODE 114:WWE After WrestleMania CHAOS! Cody Rhodes Booking FAILING? Brock Lesnar Done?!

🚨 Bayley LEAVING WWE?! Triple H's Women's Division Is A COMPLETE MESS

The shocking events from WWE Saturday Night's Main Event have the wrestling world asking one major question: Is Bayley's time in WWE coming to an end? After a vicious assault at the hands of the newly heel Lyra Valkyria, Bayley was left completely decimated in a performance that felt far more significant than a simple loss. With rumors swirling about Bayley's WWE contract status and Mercedes Moné openly teasing the possibility of a reunion in AEW, Mike Steph dives into whether it's finally time for the former Grand Slam Champion to leave WWE behind. But this conversation goes far beyond Bayley. Mike Steph breaks down what he believes has become one of WWE's biggest creative problems under Paul "Triple H" Levesque: the inconsistent and often frustrating booking of the women's division. Despite having one of the deepest rosters in wrestling history, stars like Giulia, Jordynne Grace, Chelsea Green, Roxanne Perez, IYO SKY, Raquel Rodriguez, Jade Cargill, B-Fab, and Blake Monroe have all suffered from questionable creative decisions. The discussion also tackles the controversy surrounding the Women's World Championship. Why has Rhea Ripley remained champion while injured, forcing WWE to introduce an interim champion instead of vacating the title? Is this another example of the favoritism that fans have speculated about for years? Meanwhile, Liv Morgan has held championship gold for months with little to no meaningful title defenses. Why isn't WWE giving its champions opportunities to build credibility? Is the company failing its women's division despite having an incredible amount of talent? If you're frustrated with WWE's creative direction, wondering about Bayley's future, or want an honest, unfiltered discussion about the current state of WWE's women's division, this is the video for you. 🔥 Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE, and hit the NOTIFICATION BELL so you never miss another episode from Mike Steph!
