Bayley Shares Her Thoughts On Ronda Rousey Joining WWE And A Possible 'MANIA Match Against Sasha Banks
Some WWE Superstars have voiced concerns about Ronda Rousey making the jump to pro-wrestling, but Bayley doesn't see the UFC legend's presence in the company as a bad thing at all. More past the jump...
Several female Superstars have come across a little apprehensive about Ronda Rousey signing with WWE, and seemed to be worried that the former UFC star may take their spots on the card.
However, one former NXT and Raw Women's Champion believes that the mainstream spotlight and extra fans The Rowdy One will bring to the product can only be a good thing.
Here's what Bayley had to say on the matter during an interview with newshub.co.nz:
"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."
Bayley also commented on the rumor that she's set to face her old rival and current "best friend" Sasha Banks at WrestleMania:
"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. 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.”
