Former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley suffered a torn ACL last year. The injury forced her to remain out of action for over a year. She returned at SummerSlam and revealed her new alliance with Dakota Kai and IYO SKY (Io Shira).
During a recent appearance on “The Five Count” podcast, Bayley discussed her future plans in the company as well as the one legendary female competitor she wants to square off with in the ring.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Bayley on adjusting to the WWE travel schedule since her return to the ring: “It has been pretty hard, to be honest. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve been doing things I’ve never done before. It’s been an honor being on all the shows, just running wild on all the shows. But my body is so confused because I was home for a year rehabbing, and now it’s like, ‘Oh wait, you still do this? You still wrestle? You still travel like a mad woman?’ So now that my body and immune system is catching up to the travel schedule again, I’ll be alright. The WWE lifestyle is so wild, but I’ve been having such a great time.”
Bayley on her future goals in WWE: “There’s a lot of women in NXT that I would love to do some stories with, tell some stories with, but I still haven’t main-evented WrestleMania, and I feel like that’s a big deal to everybody, especially because it’s been done a couple of times now in the women’s division. I would love to do that or just have a singles title match at WrestleMania. I would love to win the Royal Rumble, but those are just like little things. I think the bigger picture is just to leave the division in good hands, and that’s what Damage CTRL is all about. I wrote on a post that Rome wasn’t built in a day, so I know it’s going to be a little bit until I can feel satisfied.”
On wanting to have a match with Lita: “I guess I would say Lita because she was my childhood hero, and I feel like that would be the cherry on top of the story of my career.”
