Bayley has been ready to take gold into her own hands ever since she was declared the winner of the 2024 Royal Rumble back in January. She had a decision to make by either facing Rhea Ripley or IYO SKY. But when SKY and Damage CTRL turned on her, her decision became a lot easier
While speaking with NFL All Access, Bayley had the following to say:
“WrestleMania is always so exciting. It’s the most special time of the year. That’s our Super Bowl. It’s always to me felt like it’s on another planet, even since I was a kid,” she said. “This WrestleMania in particular, WrestleMania 40, this is the hottest WWE has ever been. We have The Rock coming back, we have everybody. To be a part of this gigantic show, WrestleMania 40, that’s been going on for four decades, is insane. So the fact that I have a marquee match for a championship in a very personal, emotional story that I kind of created with the beginning of Damage CTRL with IYO SKY, it’s a huge honor, I don’t take it lightly, and I can’t wait to walk out as WWE Women’s Champion because this is history right here.” (Fightful)
