WWE Superstar Bayley recently spoke to the NYPost and discussed a variety of topics relating to her career. Bayley discussed her recent ‘heel’ turn and having to constantly evolve to stay relevant in WWE.
“I need to be able to do everything and test the waters everywhere and ride the waves and challenge myself,” Bayley stated. “I can’t get stale and bored and do the same thing over and over. In order to excel in this business, you have to constantly evolve.”
Bayley also discussed how she is channelling her new ‘darker’ character. “I think honestly it’s real frustration,” Bayley said. “I’ve been wrestling for over 10 years. I’ve been with WWE for seven years, so not all of it has been colorful and castle-like and wacky wavy inflatable tubemen and happy and fun. It’s been a struggle. It’s really, really difficult to kind of stay on top for a period of time, so it’s pretty easy to find frustration believe it or not.”
The current SmackDown Women’s Champion also discussed her newest opponent Lacey Evans. “She’s a very different type of performer,” Bayley said of Evans. “She’s super talented. She does things I wish I was able to do a little bit. She has a very different work ethic coming from the Marines. It’s pretty interesting to see. I think it’s going to be very fun.”
