Bayley on being underutilized in WWE; hints at getting taken off the WrestleMania card (Chris Van Vliet)

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

@Jmare007 I wasn't saying whether Bayley should leave or not. The idea that some people have where she has "accomplishments" so that means she should be happy is ridiculous to me... That's all I'm saying. She's been overlooked a number of times for lesser talent or in some cases I'd say equal talent and I'm sure Becky and Charlotte are paid more than her. I wouldn't be surprised if Rhea and Alexa are paid more than her either. She wants to be on that level and she makes a point....she should be treated that way.

I think they learned after Bayley won last year that she doesn’t have the juice anymore.

I think it's more of this than people may want to admit because people like Bayley as a person

Bayley seems like the great employee that's shows up to work, does her job well, and all the coworkers love her. This will get you far, especially if you're talented, but it seems like she don't have that "Y'all nikkas gone FEEL me" fire in her.

Think of her as like the opposite of a HHH who did whatever it took to come up despite how many enemies he made on the way. The same HHH that puts himself over every fukkin chance he gets. Bayley didn't even put herself over in that clip. With all the love she gets among the ladies I don't see her making a Hogan call. She'd probably feel like shyt as soon as she did it

As far as her booking/work I think last year was her last real shot at making something shake and it didn't happen maybe she really was more interesting as a heel

A world champion wrestler wanting to get treated "better" is as old as pro wrestling itself breh same as promotions having favorites regardless of overall talent.

That's fine, my point is there's clearly reasons why she feels the way she does. People saying what amounts to "shut up and wrestle" ain't it... she wants the bag the next woman got

That's life... lol

Come to AEW, and enjoy the mark's money and the extremely light schedule

I wonder if Mercedes is in her ear about Japan - Bayley could do numbers with a little team of babyface hitters in Stardom.

Mercedes is the unchallenged GOAT right now because she's shown she can work ALL territories.

Edit: Add Toni to that.

She's been on the main roster for basically a decade and has held the world title a number of times (plus a Rumble and a MITB). You can't really expect more main event/title runs unless you strike gold with a new gimmick or people start getting injured, specially when you are not perceived as a real Ace by the company. If anything, she's already been treated as well as she was ever going to be.

I get the frustration by she honestly can't blame the company at this stage of her career. If she truly believes she has another run in her, she has to go elsewhere. Whether she does or not will tell us what really matters to her (and if it's money and being comfortable in WWE, there's nothing wrong with that).

It's kinda like Asuka in a sense, or Rey Mysterio as a male example... she's won all there is to win with the exception of the new secondary singles titles. Rumble, check. MITB, check. Tag titles, check. Main title, check. Had WrestleMania moments, etc., etc. But she's never really been promoted as the top of the top, and this far into her run, it's doubtful she will. The people who will take the spot she had have already been hired, it's just a matter of time. And this doesn't mean her career there is over. It just means she'll always have a spot around the card because of who she is, even if it means to put someone else over. She's not where Natalya is, but she's not gonna be what they view Charlotte or Becky, or even Bianca and Rhea more recently. They're all seen as draws, whereas Bayley is the solid hand.

Japan is the only other org that matters forreal.
AEW likes anyone that leaves WWE.

White women are usually only blonde or brunette, so that doesn’t really matter.
She is someone that is willing to blade.
Her and Liv could have a hardcore match that’ll make Mick Foley proud.

WWE's weird paternalistic asses would never let the women cut loose like that

Bayley is the six man on a all-star team. She is going to get quality mins but a part of her job is to help out the other wrestlers and be a team player. She is not going to be the face of the card and she is on the back end of her career. It is okay to have some regrets on what you did and didn't do in your career. Sometimes you have the accept reality for what it is and I feel that where she is at emotionally and mentally at the moment.

Bayley was actually the best performer inring.
when i started to watch wwe again for the rumble last year. That It felt like her run was contractual or a nod to her service.
That it kinda makes sense she was dropped a bit on card. Yet i expected her to have more going on after last year's performance. That when she was absent.
from any real build after the nia jax loss. Then the thought her mania run was contractual last year.
seemed closer to reality.
Bayley needs to pitch sumfin potent but she may have to jump. To get a larger drawing program. With all the in talent wwe has currently on roster. It just is not enough time on card. If bayley does not find a potent program to pitch.

She won the world title last year at wrestlemainia against Iyo

I honestly forgot all about that. Nobody talks about it.

People on Twitter seeing this clip and taking stuff out of context again. I've watched the whole interview. Doing so gives you more perspective before the section that was clipped.

Never take clips as what occurred.
Mostly all internet clips are taken completely out of context. That i always recommend watching the entire show it eas clipped from.

Clips are pr narratives and not indicative of what occurred.
