WWE star Bayley planning second women’s wrestling camp
WWE star Bayley is already putting plans in place to hold a second edition of her Lodestone women’s wrestling camp.
The inaugural Lodestone weekend, held in Orlando in December 2025, was a seminar open to indie wrestlers with prior experience. After choosing the attendees from a group of applicants, Bayley paid for all expenses except for travel. John Cena, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Natalya, and Lyra Valkyria all made surprise visits during the seminar and spent time with the indie prospect.
Bayley documented the first Lodestone weekend in a YouTube vlog. It ends with the announcement that there will be another camp taking place in Las Vegas in 2026. No dates have been announced yet, but it presumably will be happening during WrestleMania week this April.
“This first Lodestone seminar camp experience has just exceeded all of my expectations,” Bayley said. “And I already felt while I was reading the emails and while I was going through everything that I’m going to need to do this again, because the list that I have is so long. There are so many talented women out there. This is definitely something that I’m going to continue to do.”
Flatbacks — a wrestling school run by Shawn Spears and Tyler Breeze — hosted the first camp. The Lodestone name is a reference to a magnetite that some believe helps with attraction and manifestation.
Establishing her own wrestling school is a long-term goal for Bayley, who would also be open to potentially working behind the scenes in WWE whenever her in-ring career ends. She is part of a tag team with Lyra Valkyria at the moment, with both confirmed as entrants for the 2026 women’s Royal Rumble match this Saturday.
