Bayley on Ronda Rousey in WWE, Wrestlemania 34, and Sasha Banks

Newshub held a recent interview with Bayley discussing her thoughts on Ronda Rousey being in the WWE, getting on the card for Wrestlemania 34, and wanting to face Sasha Banks at Wrestlemania.

On the topic of Ronda Rousey being in the WWE and if she is stealing the spotlight from others, Bayley stated Rousey’s arrival is not an obstacle to her own career goals in the company. She does not feel Rousey is stealing the spotlight away from others who deserve it more and instead her arrival has motivated others in the Women’s division to keep working harder.

“She isn’t taking my spot, she is not stopping me from achieving my dreams just because she is here. She has touched so many different people in the world of sports. People want to see Ronda Rousey because she is an attraction. I have people come up to me at my gym and they tell me they are going to watch because they are big UFC fans.

I don’t feel like she is taking the spotlight away from us – if anything it is pushing us to be better because she is getting that spotlight, so we have to push harder to keep our spot. My goal is to be the women’s champion, to main event on a regular basis, to be at Wrestlemania. It doesn’t matter to me who comes in, they are not taking my spot unless they earn it.”

On the topic of being on the card for Wrestlemania 34, Bayley stated she feels a bit nervous due to her path to the show being less clear than last year.

“I guess everybody feels that pressure given it is Wrestlemania season and nobody really knows what’s going on unless you are in a championship match. Last year I felt safe because I was the champion, but now, yeah, it is a little nerve racking. I would to be on the card in any form.”

On the topic of a potential Wrestlemania 34 match against Sasha Banks, Bayley stated she hopes it happens although is a bit worried there might not be enough space or time on the card for the match.

“Whatever it takes is what we are all willing to do.

I would love for it to be against Sasha but I just don’t know if there is enough room for us to give that match the time it deserves. But we have a really good connection to the point that anytime we can tell that story we would be able to. If now is a good time and I would to start that up again if we are able to.”
