10 Weirdest WWE Tryout Stories
2. Bayley Told Her Attire Was Unacceptable
Bayley has been an active WWE superstar for over a dozen years and has become one of the most decorated performers in the company's history. She came from humble beginnings, made a name for herself in NXT, overcame the odds on the main roster, and became the first-ever WWE women's Grand Slam winner. Looking back at her career, The Role Model reminisced about her initial tryout with the company and how her attire got her in trouble on an edition of The New Day: Feel the Power.
Bayley recalled coming in for a three-day tryout camp at the FCW facility and the writers asking her to wear something presentable when it was almost time for her to step inside the ring. She had bought this dress which she thought would help her get noticed, but the writers told her that the attire was unacceptable since she was showing a little too much skin - and urged her to change.
Bayley recalls being confused about what the company expected from her, and it was AJ Lee who helped her gain the right perspective and advised her to be herself while meeting the company executives halfway when it came to their expectations.
