Bayley injured the same knee in 2021, suffering an ACL tear that kept her out until SummerSlam 2022. She returned as the founder member and leader of Damage CTRL alongside Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai, but the group could be crumbling following the former's recent Money In The Bank victory.
Sky wasn't in the contest where Bayley picked up the injury, but has been teased as a possible next WWE Women's Champion on the blue brand.
Fingers crossed the nature of the tweet reveals the full extent and she's able to make a speedy return to action.
