Bayley On Having Different Characters: I’m Not Going To Be Able To Wrestle For The Rest Of My Life, I May As Well Have A Character To Lean On
Bayley speaks on her current persona in WWE.
A few months ago, WWE launched a split-personality character for Bayley as she entered a tag team run with Lyra Valkyria.
Despite a lack of success as a tag team, Bayley is still having a good time with the character. Speaking with The Nikki & Brie Show for a new interview, Bayley spoke about loving character/gimmicky stuff and how she wants to lean on it as she gets older.
“It’s a weird time in wrestling too where you can’t really tell what the fans want right now, if they want more of the realism like this is this person and they’re a professional wrestler and they’re a WWE superstar and this is what they do and they’re just them. Back in the 90s or early 2000s was straight up all character stuff, it was all gimmicky stuff, but that’s the stuff I love. Like, I’m not gonna be able to wrestle wrestle for the rest of my life so I may as well have this character that I can lean on, which is what I did when I first got signed. Nobody cared about my wrestling, they wanted to see me hug somebody. I really enjoy doing that kind of stuff and if you can mix it in with having good tag matches or having a tag partner like Lyra, who legit is one of the top five wrestlers we have in the company, right?”
