Professional wrestling is a demanding industry where athletes spend most of their time on the road, traveling from city to city. This constant togetherness often leads to strong bonds—some remain friendships, while others blossom into romantic relationships. One such couple was WWE’s Bayley and AEW’s Aaron Solow, who were engaged before quietly calling it off earlier this year.
Who Is Bayley?
Bayley, one of WWE career Four Horsewomen, has been a cornerstone of the women’s division for years. Known as “The Role Model,” she has achieved nearly every accolade in WWE, including:
- 3-time Women’s Champion (Raw & SmackDown)
- 2-time Women’s Tag Team Champion
- 2021 Money in the Bank winner
- First-ever WWE Women’s Triple Crown Champion
Despite being in her early 30s, Bayley has already cemented her legacy as one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time. While she’s open about her career, she has always kept her personal life private—until fans discovered her past relationship with Aaron Solow.
Who Is Aaron Solow?
Aaron Solow is a professional wrestler currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Though not as mainstream as Bayley, Solow has built a respectable career on the independent circuit and in AEW’s developmental system. He has competed in promotions like:
- AEW Dark / Dark: Elevation
- NWA (National Wrestling Alliance)
- Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG)
Solow is known for his technical wrestling style and has been a consistent performer outside WWE.
Their Relationship Timeline
Bayley and Aaron Solow’s relationship dates back over a decade, long before either became well-known in major wrestling promotions. They met on the independent wrestling scene, where both were trying to make a name for themselves.
- Early Days: They reportedly started dating in the early 2010s while wrestling in California.
- Engagement: The couple got engaged in 2017, keeping their relationship low-key.
- Split: Earlier this year (2023), it was revealed that they had quietly called off their engagement, though neither publicly discussed the reasons.
Despite their breakup, both have remained professional, with Bayley continuing to thrive in WWE and Solow working in AEW.
Why Did They Break Up?
Neither Bayley nor Solow has publicly addressed their split, but the challenges of a wrestling relationship could have played a role:
- Busy Schedules – WWE and AEW require constant travel, making it hard to maintain a relationship.
- Different Career Paths – Bayley is a top WWE star, while Solow is still building his name in AEW.
- Privacy Preferences – Both have always kept their personal lives away from the spotlight.
Where Are They Now?
- Bayley: Still a top star in WWE, currently leading the Damage CTRL faction.
- Aaron Solow: Competing in AEW’s undercard and indie scene, recently appearing on AEW Dark.
Final Thoughts
While Bayley and Aaron Solow’s engagement didn’t lead to marriage, their story is another example of how wrestling’s demanding lifestyle impacts personal relationships. Both remain focused on their careers, proving that even if love doesn’t last, their passion for wrestling does.
