Speaking on Xfinity Hangouts, Bayley was asked about having her first singles match at WrestleMania against IYO.

"That is something I never thought would happen. I used to think my first singles match was going to be with Sasha [Sasha Banks aka Mercedes Mone]. Then I started thinking maybe it was going to be with Bianca [Bianca Belair]. The fact that it’s IYO is mind-blowing. When I envision my matches and I put my matches together, in my mind, as I see myself doing this stuff, I’m wrestling as good as IYO SKY. Then I watch myself do it and I’m like, ‘Oh God, that looks nothing like I thought it was going to look like. That’s terrible.’ Now I have to get in there with her. It’s intimidating because she does things no one else can do. It will be an honor to take (the title) off of IYO," said Bayley.

Bayley earned her match against IYO by winning the women's Royal Rumble.

Elsewhere during the interview, Bayley commented on wanting to have Paramore play her theme at WrestleMania 40. Fans can find her full comments by clicking here.
