WWE star Bayley recently spoke with Sports Illustrated on a number of topics including her desire to headline WrestleMania.

Bayley said, โ€œOnly a few people believe it will happen.โ€ โ€But everyone will believe it soon.โ€

Her character changes in WWE:

โ€œMy character changes have always aligned with how I feel in my life and with how my character is developing.โ€ โ€œThe Hugger stuff, people watched me grow up. There was a real connection there. Fans became like family. When my character did start to change, it was like my family watched me turn into a bratty teenager going through a rough patch. I wouldnโ€™t have had the connection to do that without my time as The Hugger.โ€

On 2024:

โ€œAll my experience, especially after going through the [ACL] injury, the pressure of having new girls rely on you, thatโ€™s a lot of pressure, but it made me feel ready for everything. This year is going to be the one that defines my career. It will define who I am and what Iโ€™ve brought to the wrestling industry.โ€
