During an appearance on last week’s edition of WWE’s ‘The Bump,’ Bayley reflected on her old babyface character that she originated in NXT.
According to Bayley, the tiny pieces of her old character continue to drive her to be a better wrestler. The former RAW Women’s Champion turned heel in 2020 and has since continued to portray a villainous character.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On there being a tiny piece of her old character still driving her: “There is a tiny part deep in there that still drives me, pushes me. It’s the little bit inside me that says it’s all worth it because I get very annoyed — I’m old and cranky. I’m getting too old for this nonsense, for these idiots that don’t believe in me, that can’t see me, and who think I don’t have what it takes.”
On her old NXT self: “But there’s a little, tiny piece of that old NXT Bayley in there that says, ‘It’s okay, man. It’s all worth it. This is your dream. Just keep going, and do what you set out to do when you were 10 years old.’”
