Bayley Opens Up About Her Friendship With Sasha Banks
Welcome to Sports Arenaa WWE News!!!!!!!!!
WWE Smackdown superstar Bayley recently appeared as special guest on The New Day’s Feel The Power podcast and discussed about their friendship with Sasha Banks. She said that their personal friendship took long time than anything because they were different people.
She revealed that they had their first match in FCW infront of all the coaches in an empty arena. They both wrestled for five minutes and it was the best match Bayley ever had and thought that she is someone can push myself with, said by Bayley.
“Well actually, as far as our personal friendship, that took longer than anything because we’re such different people. When we first had our match, FCW literally threw us in the ring but they gave us five minutes. It was in front of all the coaches, and luckily, none of my peers were here yet. It was just the empty arena but with coaches.”
“We say this story all the time – it was literally five minutes on the fly to have a match and it was with her. I think that was the best match I ever had. I was on the indies for four-and-a-half years, but I’m pretty sure that was the best match I ever had, and I just couldn’t believe we pulled it off in five minutes. I was like, ‘Man, she’s going to help me get better.’ I can friggin’ wrestle this girl! She was never out of place. A lot of the girls I worked with, not in a bad way, but I felt like I was better than them already. So I’m like, ‘This girl is awesome! She’s someone I can push myself with.’ But in the ring, we always feel like that.”
They both had worked several dark matches before getting on TV and Bayley realized that they could be friends but she thought that they won’t be friends because she already had friends as she was there before her, said by Bayley.
“We were working matches all the time, whether it was in tag matches or against each other. We had a million dark matches in NXT before we started getting on TV. It took a while for us to realize that we could be friends. I think we were both standoffish with each other – it was weird. I think she didn’t want to be my friend or she already had friends there, because she was there before me.”
Bayley said that their friendship began after they started learning that they both had similar interests while they grew up. Bayley also stated that she couldn’t have done that whole thing in pandemic without Sasha Banks.
“Once we started learning that we’re both dorks who loved wrestling since we were 10 years old, and the way we grew up together, that’s when it started being, ‘Alright, she’s kind of cool.’ We kind of found our characters at the same time, so that was very helpful. When we had promos, we could use each other. We can be in each other’s promos and help find each other, so, I’m so lucky. I couldn’t have done that whole pandemic without anybody else.”
Currently, Bayley seems to started feud with Bianca Belair and both had some words exchange about their performances at Survivor Series pay-per-view.
