10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE In 2018

It was during an otherwise-awful 2020 that Bayley's confidence grew to such an extent that she became one of WWE's MVPs, and it's been interesting listening to her reflect on the years she spent struggling to establish completely who she was and wanted to be on the main roster.

Evolution hit during a particularly challenging spell for 'The Hugger' and she shared a tale of her frustration with WWE's plans at the time. Speaking to CBS (h/t to WrestleTalk for transcribing), she said

“It did seem like [Evolution] was a long time coming. I remember the morning of just feeling so, so crazy because of the fact that it was actually happening. It was kind of like a goal a lot of us had when we first came to NXT. I know it was a goal for a lot of girls there like Natalya and the Bella Twins as well. I was actually pretty upset because there was also a live event the same day...WWE had a live event somewhere in New York and we were doing the pay-per-view. I was like, ‘Why are they doing a live event when we’re doing a the first-ever women’s pay-per-view? It should be all eyes on us. There should be no fans at other shows. They should be at home watching us...I had thrown a big fit, and then realized that was what we do all the time. There’s always a live show when there’s a pay-per-view, so I had to calm down a little bit, but I had a lot of pride in the show and everybody in it."
