WWE superstar Bayley has been on a rollercoaster ride of emotions lately, from winning her first Women’s Championship title in over three years at WrestleMania XL to defending it in a chaotic match at Backlash France. In a recent interview with Bodyslam.net, Bayley revealed that her WrestleMania XL title match against IYO SKY didn’t quite live up to her expectations, despite receiving widespread praise from fans and backstage officials.
The Role Model confessed that she didn’t even rewatch the match, a departure from her usual habit of reviewing her performances. However, the positive feedback from others helped change her perspective, and she eventually felt proud of the contest. Bayley’s journey to self-acceptance is a testament to her growth as a performer and her ability to bounce back from disappointment.
At WrestleMania XL, Bayley’s victory over IYO SKY marked a culmination of the lengthy angle involving Damage CTRL, a faction that she had conceptualized herself. Despite the excitement of sharing the spotlight with her former stablemate on the grand stage, the match itself didn’t unfold as she had hoped. Bayley’s candid admission highlights the high standards she sets for herself and her desire for perfection in the ring.
Meanwhile, Bayley’s reign as Women’s Champion continues, with her retaining the title against Naomi in a Triple Threat match at Backlash France. The event marked a significant moment for Tiffany Stratton, who has quickly gained popularity among fans since joining the main roster.
Stratton is expected to continue her pursuit of the title in the coming weeks, joining a growing list of prominent names on Friday Night SmackDown, including the new Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill.
Nia Jax, the latest addition to the SmackDown roster, could also pose a threat to Bayley’s gold in the near future. As The Role Model navigates the ever-changing terrain of the WWE, she remains focused on her craft, driven by her passion for wrestling and her desire to continuously improve. Despite the occasional disappointment, Bayley’s resilience and dedication have earned her a loyal fan base, and her story serves as an inspiration to aspiring wrestlers everywhere.
