Kay Lee Ray & Bayley Celebrate Huge WWE Title Milestones
"Suck it, Michael Cole!"
Both Kay Lee Ray and Bayley passed significant milestones recently.
Ray passed the 400-day mark as NXT UK Women's Champion on Sunday, and Bayley hit the 360-day mark on her SmackDown Women's Title reign; if that last number doesn't seem as impressive, then consider this: Bayley has now held the belt a combined 500 days across two separate stints.
She celebrated by firing out a jokey tweet to SmackDown's lead announcer that read, "Suck it, Michael Cole!". Hilarious.
KLR was a little more erm..dignified. She tweeted that she's "just getting started" and would be known as the title's "forever champion". There's no doubt that 400 days is impressive, although there is a slight caveat - NXT UK was put on ice for much of 2020. That's not to suggest that WWE would've taken the title off Ray though.
Over on SmackDown, it's only a matter of time before Bayley loses. Sasha Banks is the champion-in-waiting on that brand, and could capture the gold at Hell In A Cell on 25 October.
Regardless, both women have become the go-to female champs on their respective shows. That's impressive.
