In an interview with FOX 4, Bayley said that her work ethic is what makes her stand above everyone else on the WWE roster:
On what makes her stand out: “I have the work ethic. We have people in the locker room that don’t think like me, that don’t work like me, that aren’t passionate about it like me. I just started a training program, I’ve done crossfit for years. I started watching when I was ten and became a crazy, obsessed fan. You couldn’t see the walls in my room. None of the paint, it was just posters. I went to all the shows, wore all the shirts, would get in trouble at school for wearing the shirts from my basketball coach. I was wild.”
On why she turned heel: “Why? I needed it personally, my career needed it, the WWE Universe needed it. I’m being a role model so I’m just doing what’s right for everybody. It’s always fun bending the rules a little.”
On her first wrestling experience: “I was 18-years-old and had braces. The first lock-up, my mouth got busted open from the braces. My mom was sitting in the crowd going crazy. ‘No, you’re not doing this. Get out of here.’ But, I’m still here.”
