Bayley and Becky Lynch are scheduled to go one on one for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship on next week’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, but for Bayley, the title is currently an afterthought.

While speaking on the latest episode of the RAW Recap, Bayley was asked about the legacy of the men’s Interconinental Championship in WWE and if rivalries like her and Becky’s will help elevate the women’s title to those heights.

“It’s really cool to think that people may think like that. I think to me, it’s not about the title right now. It’s just kind of like a cherry on top, to be honest. As much as I would love to win that title, as much as I would love to win the US Women’s title, because those are things I’ve never done before. Like you said, like I’ve done a lot, almost everything, but there’s two brand new titles that I’ve never won that I wouldn’t mind carrying and calling myself one of those champions one day. But I also think that the Intercontinental title for the women, it started off really well. I think the tournament was awesome. All the matches that Lyra had and defended, I think were freaking great. I think she was a perfect inaugural champion. I think like the whole workhorse title, really showcased in the women’s division as well. I think it got off to a good start, but I do believe for Becky and I to bring our experience to that championship and get the eyes on it, it’s only going to make everybody in the division hungrier to get that title, and that’s what it’s all about. That’s really like bringing in the tag titles. Like that was always the goal was to bring more eyes on more women in the division, make the women more hungry and want something bigger and better and more for themselves. I think that’s what this is going to do. If a match between Becky and I can even level it up just a little bit, then that’s what I want to do. But I’m just here to beat the living crap out of her, and my shoulder is nice and healthy now. So I think the title would fit perfectly.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Bayley explained why she chose the June 9th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW to attack Lynch. You can read more about that here.
