During the Friday Night Smackdown, Bayley took the Twitter and posted a video, in which she addressed her injury. Bayley confirmed that she injured her left knee and stated that she was getting better for Money In The Bank for fans but she was injured. And blamed WWE fans for her injury, remaining in her true heel persona.
“I know what you’re thinking and you’re thinking that it sucks. Because you wanted to see the longest-reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion in history regain what’s rightfully hers, to walk into Money in the Bank and beat Bianca Belair once and for all and take back my title. But now I’m hurt and now that I think about it, that’s not what you’re thinking. You don’t care at all! You don’t care that I’m hurt, I did this to get better for Money in the Bank, I did this to be the best, I did this for you! So this? Yeah, this is all your fault! And I don’t give a damn who they put in my place because they are not as good as me,” said Bayley.
