Bayley Teases Return From WWE Hiatus
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Former WWE Women's Grand Slam Champion Bayley, who has not been seen on WWE programming since a backstage attack before WrestleMania 41, is strongly hinting at an impending return. This has WWE fans speculating about her comeback. The storyline attack occurred during the Countdown show for WrestleMania 41 Night One on April 19, 2025. This assault wrote Bayley off the two-night premium live event and television. She was originally scheduled to team with Lyra Valkyria to challenge Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. A returning Becky Lynch ultimately took Bayley's place in the match, winning the titles alongside Valkyria. Having recently declared on social media that it was "comeback season," Bayley has now amplified these teases. She recently shared an image on her X account showing her wrestling boots placed in the corner of a training ring. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation This is a clear indication that she is preparing for in-ring action. This latest post has further fueled WWE fan excitement about her return. The person behind Bayley's absence was later revealed to be Lynch herself. Lynch confessed she did the attack to take Bayley's WrestleMania spot, adding another layer of betrayal to their storied history and setting up a compelling feud upon Bayley's return.

She also captured the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship and was the first-ever Women's Grand Slam Champion. While an official return date for Bayley has yet to be announced by WWE, her social media activity suggests "The Role Model" is gearing up to make her presence felt once more. WWE has booked Lyra vs. Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Title at the Money in the Bank premium live event next month. This is a rematch from Backlash, where Lynch put Lyra over and Lyra retained. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

David Lynch Estate Auction Features Items From TWIN PEAKS, DUNE, and More
It's been several months now since we lost one of America's greatest filmmakers, David Lynch, at the age of 78. The world of film will never be the same without him. And soon, many of Lynch's personal items will go up for auction, which we've learned about via Gizmodo. For serious fans of Lynch's filmography like us, there are many items in this collection that we'd love to own. These gems are from his nearly 50-year career, with pieces from Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, Dune, and his first feature film, Eraserhead. You can check out some of the items from Julien's David Lynch auction, which goes live on June 18, below: Click To View Gallery Some of the items in the David Lynch estate auction include the menus from Winkie's, the Denny's stand-in with a terrifying being that lives behind it in Mulholland Drive. There's Lynch's personal 35mm print of Eraserhead, the film that put him on the map. And there's quite a bit from the world of Twin Peaks. Lynch's original script from the series, when it was called Northwest Passage, as well as Fire Walk With Me, are among the auction items as well. The framed photo of the atomic bomb test that was in Gordon Cole's office in Twin Peaks: The Return? It was also part of Lynch's personal collection. Which is fitting, since he played Gordon Cole in the series. One of the coolest items is Lynch's personal version of the red curtains and zigzag patterns, Twin Peaks' most iconic image. But the Holy Grail in this auction is Lynch's actual director's chair with his name on it. Whoever gets these, we honestly hope they donate them to a museum. There are 444 lots in this auction, and some of them are just common household items, like coffee makers. But if you're a diehard David Lynch fan, you'd probably want a Lynch-owned coffee maker more than almost any other item in this auction. To check out all the items yourself, head on over to the official Julien's Auctions site.

Hundreds of David Lynch artifacts up for auction
By Dean Murray A treasure trove of over 450 personal artifacts from the late filmmaker David Lynch is to be auctioned. The event offers fans and collectors a rare opportunity to own pieces from the visionary director's five-decade career and personal life. The collection spans Lynch's legendary work in film and television-including Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, and Blue Velvet-and features items from his home, studio, and woodshop. Highlights include his iconic director's chair, a "Black Lodge" red curtain and zig-zag rug from Twin Peaks, his personal 35mm print of Eraserhead, a framed photograph from Twin Peaks: The Return, and prop menus from Mulholland Drive. Personal items, including espresso machines and numerous cups, echo Lynch's personal love of a "damn fine cup of coffee", a line famously uttered by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks. "This incredible collection of one of the greatest and most revered filmmakers of all time… comes directly from the home of the visionary artist whose enigmatic films stirred our most imaginative and collective surreal dreams," said Catherine Williamson, Managing Director of Entertainment at Julien's Auctions. Lynch, who died in January at age 78, was hailed for his singular, surreal style and profound influence on modern cinema. The Julien's Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) auction is online now and live on 18 June in Los Angeles. The post Hundreds of David Lynch artifacts up for auction appeared first on Talker.
