Lisa Marie Varon, formerly Victoria in WWE, names what present-day WWE Superstars she would like to wrestle against.
Victoria returned to WWE at the 2021 Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble match. Today’s Superstars were honored to share the ring with her that night but, Victoria has a specific role model in mind if she ever wanted to get back in the ring for one more match.
Speaking with Just Alyx, the former WWE Women's Champion named Bayley as one woman she would definitely be honored to get back into the squared circle for.
"Because I met Bayley twice when she was a little girl in line — as an 11-year-old and a 14-year-old saying, ‘I'm gonna be a Diva.’ You know, many times we hear that from fans,” she said. “She was such a big fan of mine and she was like, she actually texted me the other day. ‘Hey, do you mind if I take your spinning sidewalk slam?’ I go, ‘I'd be honored. I'd be so honored. I told you I'm shocked that no one's taken that move. Please take it, my gosh. I wouldn't be offended if anybody took the Widow's Peak.’ I'm not in the business anymore. It's an homage to me, because they've watched me. But Bayley is one that just is just so kind and giving. But Bianca, too, and [Ripley], that girl is freaking invincible.
"There's such good talent out there,” she continued. There's so many good girls out there. There's too much to pick from because everybody is at that level where they're freaking good. To be noticed by WWE, AEW, NWA, IMPACT Wrestling, you gotta be at the top of the game. It's not where your looks are gonna get you by anymore. You got to walk the walk and talk the talk now.”
Nowadays, women's Ladder matches, Hell in a Cell matches, and Elimination Chamber matches are commonplace but back in her day, Victoria made history by competing in the first-ever women's Steel Cage Match against Lita on Monday Night Raw.
Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, and Bayley are all on the Monday Night Raw roster and continuing to break barriers today.
