The split personality gimmick Bayley has is either dragging its heels or going nowhere. It's hard to decipher. To her credit, Bayley has been doing everything she can to sell it whenever she's on TV alongside on/off companion (depending on the mood) Lyra Valkyria. In fact, come Rumble time, Bayley might actually pull a quasi-Mick Foley thing.

Nah, not entering multiple times, but maybe she could vanish underneath the ring then re-emerge with wild eyes and fists a-flying? There are worse ideas than that to give her something meaningful to do in the match, let's be honest. The sad truth is that this 2024 Rumble winner isn't in the picture for a repeat triumph in Riyadh.

So, Bayley will have to make do and mend by bringing the thunder with her double-edged persona.
