10 Things We Learned From Bayley On Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions
7. When She “Found Herself As A Worker”
Things had to get worse before they got better.
In 2015, WWE moved Charlotte, Becky and Sasha off NXT and onto Raw and SmackDown. At first, Bayley admits she felt really crap. All her mates had been promoted, but she was standing still. It took a while for the penny to drop: Bayley had a golden opportunity to show WWE what she was really capable of.
Plus, she could help others like Carmella, Lacey Evans and Liv Morgan. Plus, she was about to work with diverse styles like those favoured by new opponents Asuka and Nia Jax. It wasn't all bad, and Bayley embraced the chance to become a quasi-locker room leader on her home brand now she was flying solo backstage too.
She made a great point on BSS about having her own spotlight when WWE finally made the call to put her on the bigger shows in 2016. Bayley didn't have to get lost in the shuffle working stables like 'Team PCB' or 'Team B.A.D', and she's grateful for that.
