"Here, we see Bayley - leader of the female-only group of wrestlers known collectively as Damage CTRL - surrounded by her concerned pack, having yet again sacrificed her body to elevate the prospects of her opponent. This selfless creature has performed this act countless times over the course of her life in the WWE ecosystem, and indeed will likely perform it countless times again before moving on to the next stage of her life - commentating on matches alongside her greatest frenemy, Michael Cole".

Sorry to interrupt, Sir Attenborough, but as much fun as watching Bayley making Michael's life hell on a weekly basis would be, we'll hopefully be seeing her in the ring for a long time to come.

It's no secret that ever since her (record-breaking) reign as Smackdown Women's Champion ended in 2020, Bayley's been playing the role of bridesmaid in WWE's championship scene. Bayley has spent the past three years eating pin after pin for the benefit of the company's chosen ones, and it's a testament to her talent that she's spent those years being a headliner despite her many, ???? losses.

Bayley may have a worse win-loss record than a drunk Glaswegian in an elocution contest, but she's a great hand in the ring and on the mic and fully deserves the faith WWE have placed in her to elevate the rest of the women's locker room.
