Aim low. Aim so low no-one will even care if you succeed. My head is in the figurative oven. If you want to feel depressed, remember that WWE ruined me as a face.

Bayley, God bless her, doesn't seem to have learned the harsh lesson delivered to her by the main roster creative regime over the last year and a half, during which time it has: squandered her big WrestleMania story arc by booking her to win the RAW Women's title two months earlier because they couldn't wait two more months; booked Stephanie McMahon to berate her with no reprisal (though that's par for the course); booked her as an entitled brat throughout said reign because she won the gold via assist, and wouldn't give up her toy; penned the worst segment of the year at her expense, throughout which weird incestuous undertones were abound; depicted her as a wallflower in her feud with Alexa Bliss, a veritable career-killer of a programme.

But no: she still has designs on headlining WrestleMania 35 with Sasha Banks, per an interview with Sports Illustrated Extra Mustard, even though these things tend to get worse before they don't get better. There's more chance of the Bayley character losing her virginity on TV than there is of her headlining 'Mania right now.
