The former Smackdown Women’s Champion Bayley turned heel for the first time by helping Sasha Banks to attack Becky Lynch and had a great run last year along with Sasha Banks. But the Grand Slam Champion Bayley revealed that she had some struggles after her heel turn.
On her recent appearance on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions Podcast, Bayley revealed that she had hard time after turning because she was a face for seven years and she’s very fortunate to have Sasha Banks on her side. Here what Bayley said about her heel turn:
“I felt really lucky that I had Sasha [Banks] with me because we could just play off of each other. Everyone was like ‘Oh! it was so easy to be the bad guy and it is so much more fun’. But I had such a hard time because I was the good guy for seven years, my whole career. ‘The Huggable One’ or whatever, so for me, it was hard to make people believe that I can be a jerk.”
“If I was talking, I didn’t have to worry about people not buying into it. Or someone saying, ‘It’s not really you. I am not buying a ticket to watch you.’ So, I was just able to do me and grow that way without having to worry about people yelling stuff and hurting my feelings.”

The Role Model Bayley also spoke about how pandemic era helped superstars to step up their game.
“A lot of people really had to dig deep to find the core of them. And it feels like everybody did. You can just have more moments and the deeper story-telling that kind of feels more intimate.”
Currently, Bayley isn’t involved in any feud on Friday Night Smackdown and might not appear on this year’s WrestleMania 37.
