Asuka: Bayley Is Accepting Treatment That Doesn’t Match Who She Is. We Changed This Division. We Made It

In a recent interview with The Undertaker on Six Feet Under, Bayley reflected on being pulled from WrestleMania 41, saying she was being tested by the universe and that it was rough.

On her KanaChanTV channel, Asuka noted that the interview came up in her feed and she found out about Bayley’s struggle and pain.

“The format of today’s women’s division – the value everyone treats as standard – that was built by the Four Horsewomen and by me. We’ve got pride. Of course we do. Right now, the ones who can understand Bayley’s pain the most are probably Charlotte, Becky, and me. Our era didn’t just raise the level. We flipped the entire idea of what a women’s division could be. We started a revolution.”

Asuka continued, “Bayley, when you and I first met, you were the NXT Champion, and I was the challenger. I took the title from you and I carried NXT on my back. Then you went to the main roster, and you became one of the pillars there too. After that, I arrived. We fought at the top. We survived at the top. We became the standard of the company. We are not just wrestlers. We are an era. We changed the division.

“You’re accepting treatment that doesn’t match what you are. Don’t swallow it. This isn’t only your problem. It’s an insult to our pride – the pride of everyone who fought beside you and against you. It’s an insult to the status we built with our own hands.”

Asuka then told Bayley to stop accepting the treatment of disrespect.

“As someone who has shared that time with you, I can’t accept it. Bayley. Stop playing nice. Look at Kairi. Playing nice is boring. Playing safe is boring. Go off! Shout it. ‘Do you know who I am? I’m Bayley!’ Make them remember what you’ve done – what we’ve done. We changed this division. We made it.”

“So remind them. Loudly. All of them. Get louder. Get sharper. Let that fire show in the ring. Make them feel it. The weight we built with our lives. The pain we paid to make this division what it is. Right now. Make them remember.”

Bayley is currently teaming with Lyra Valkyria and battling the Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) over the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles on WWE Raw.
