WWE superstar Bayley has once again proved her dominance in the ring, retaining her WWE Women’s Championship title at the recent Backlash premium live event in France. The 34-year-old wrestling sensation took to social media to give fans a glimpse of her new look, complete with turquoise and purple streaks in her hair, alongside a fade on the right side of her head.
Bayley’s championship reign began at WrestleMania XL, where she defeated IYO SKY to capture the title. Her first title defense against Naomi ended in a No Contest due to interference from Tiffany Stratton. However, she successfully retained her title at Backlash, pinning Naomi in a thrilling Triple-Threat match that also featured The Buff Barbie.
Ahead of the event, Bayley shared behind-the-scenes videos on Instagram, giving fans a sneak peek into her hair and makeup preparation. The champion’s new hairstyle has undoubtedly turned heads, with many praising her bold and edgy look.
Bayley’s recent victory is all the more impressive given her tumultuous past with her former stablemates in Damage CTRL. The faction, which initially consisted of Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY, was formed in 2022, with Asuka and Kairi Sane joining later on. However, the group dynamics took a dramatic turn at this year’s Royal Rumble, when the rest of the members turned against The Role Model, leading to Bayley challenging IYO SKY for the title at WrestleMania XL.
In a recent interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter, Bayley revealed that she had anticipated the betrayal from her former stablemates. Despite this, she has remained focused on her solo career, and her recent victory at Backlash is a testament to her hard work and dedication.
With Damage CTRL now drafted to Monday Night RAW, the possibility of Bayley crossing paths with her former stablemates seems unlikely in the near future. However, it will be interesting to see which superstars Damage CTRL will feud with on RAW, and whether Bayley will continue to thrive as a solo competitor on SmackDown. One thing is certain – The Role Model is here to stay, and her new look is just the beginning of her next chapter in the WWE.
