Bayley recently took to social media to react after a former AEW star made his WWE return on the latest edition of NXT. The name in question is Frankie Kazarian.

Kazarian had already made a few appearances for World Wrestling Entertainment in 2005 when he started performing for the company's then-developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). However, he made a huge name in different wrestling promotions including the Jacksonville-based company, where he won the AEW World Tag Team Championship. The 46-year-old is currently signed with TNA Wrestling.

On the latest edition of NXT, Frankie Kazarian made his surprise WWE return, where he participated in a 25-man Battle Royal to determine the next challenger for Trick Williams' NXT Championship. The bout was ultimately won by Je'Von Evans.

WWE Women's Champion Bayley recently took to X/Twitter to react to Kazarian's surprise return. The former Damage CTRL member reacted with only a shocked emoji.

What the future has in store for The Role Model remains to be seen.

Bayley wants to be a part of the WWE and TNA Wrestling "partnership"

During an interview with Cultaholic, Bayley said that she wanted to be in the arena to witness the historic match between Jordynne Grace and Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women's Championship.

The Role Model also mentioned that she wanted to do something with TNA Wrestling just because it was different.

"It really didn’t hit me that it was possible until I saw Jordynne Grace come out on NXT. And immediately, text Hunter [Triple H], text Shawn, and I wanted to be at the show. I’m like, 'You know what, I would love to be in the front row for this. It’s a historic match.' And just to kind of get my face out there, like, 'Hey, I’m watching. I’m the champion. Can you consider me if we ever do these, you know, something with TNA?' I would love to do that just because it’s different," Bayley said.

Bayley recently successfully defended her Women's Championship against Piper Niven at Clash at the Castle Premium Live Event. It will be interesting to see who will step up next as a challenger for The Role Model.
