Bayley's wanted to be a wrestler since she was eight years old, and since then, it's become an indispensable part of her life.

"I would buy everything in sight of wrestling (well, my parents did!) toys, shirts, necklaces, blankets, belts, posters, magazines, etc," said Bayley in an interview with David Falcon. "Everyone at school knew me as the girl who loved wrestling. I went to all the WWF shows and made my Dad drive me out to all the autograph sessions in our area. My younger brother and I would even make our own wrestling shows in our living room, it was called WFK- Wrestling For Kids."

When she turned 18, she started training professionally for an in-ring career.
