On a recent edition of WWE’s “The Bump,” John Cena lavished praise on AJ Styles and thanked the TNA Grand Slam Champion for bringing out the best in him every time they wrestled in WWE. He said,
“Phenomenal is a great word to describe AJ. He’s just a wonderful, kind human being and brought out the best in me physically. We both had a different perspective on our careers and he thought if I didn’t exist, he would be where I’m at and I always wanted to see what the WWE would be like with AJ involved. Being in the ring, we brought out the best in each other. I wish AJ a speedy recovery and phenomenal is a great word to describe him.”
During the post-WWE Fastlane 2023 media scrum, Bayley pitched a triple-threat match for the members of Damage CTRL at WrestleMania. She said,
“That would be a dream match of mine too. They are two of my best friends, two of the greatest ever, in my opinion, and that’s why we’ve come together and taken over the WWE in the women’s division. To me, that would be such an honor, such a dream, and that sounds like a WrestleMania match to me, but we’re not rushing this moment. LA Knight was talking about living in the moment and enjoying these magical nights. Let’s just enjoy tonight and hold that off.”
Bayley helped IYO SKY retain the WWE Women’s Championship against Asuka and Charlotte Flair at WWE Fastlane 2023.
