The former Smackdown Women’s Champion Bayley recently appeared as special guest on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions Podcast and discussed about several topics including how John Cena and Daniel Bryan helped her during pandemic era.
Bayley revealed the conversation she had with John Cena and Daniel Bryan, which Cena said that he haven’t been in WWE ring without fans and it’s good challenge and something new to learn. That conversation have changed Bayley’s mindset and helped to adapt wrestling without fans. Here what Bayley said:
“On the first day, I remember talking to Daniel Bryan, and [John] Cena was there. They were having a conversation and Cena was like, ‘I’ve done everything, but I haven’t done this. I haven’t been in a WWE ring on TV with zero fans. It’s a good challenge and will be something new for me to learn.’ That instantly changed my whole mindset. If we can do this, we can do anything. I went into that mindset of ‘we have to prove we can do this without fans and prove our characters…’ that we don’t have to lean on that, even though our shows are 90% fan interaction.” (H/T: Fightful)
We should all be helping each other along the way. But I learned how to look out for people (@Kay_Lee_Ray) through @RealPaigeWWE. https://t.co/WUcoLoKwLB

“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.”
