Bayley's vision is clear.
She sees her path to WrestleMania XL.
During today's episode of WWE's The Bump, the winner of the 2024 Women's Royal Rumble match spoke about her upcoming announcement on SmackDown regarding which champion she is going to challenge at WrestleMania 40.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where she talks about this, as well as her thoughts on Nia Jax.
On Nia Jax: "First of all, what would you do if Nia Jax was walking towards you? You would run for your life, okay? Damage CTRL saw that I can handle myself against 29 other women at the Royal Rumble, so they weren’t worried about me. I’ve dealt with Nia so many times. I’ve beaten her in the past, okay. I knew she wasn’t there for me, she was there for Rhea Ripley. To me, my goal stays the same. Like I said on Monday, you’ve never seen anything like Damage CTRL before, you’ve never seen a lineage of all these champions in the ring at once, a Royal Rumble winner in the ring at once. This handful of talent, it’s never been done before. That’s gonna continue. When I make my decision on Friday, it’s gonna continue at WrestleMania when we’re all champions, when we’re all holding gold, and nobody can deny us because we’re on top of the world."
On who she will choose for her WrestleMania 40 opponent: "I don’t know why everybody’s like, ‘So, what’s gonna be your decision? Can we have the scoop?’ You guys had the scoop weeks ago. I said it from the beginning that I was going to win the Royal Rumble. I said it even before they won the tag yeah titles, I said I want all these things, that I can beat Rhea. Look, props to Rhea, she’s younger than me, she’s stronger than me, she’s faster than me, she sells more merch than me. I haven’t had a freaking shirt in a year. But she’s not Damage CTRL. Yeah, Judgment Day won faction of the year. Good for them, they have worked their butts off. They are on every single show, they’re all over the place, and I would have done the same thing to R-Truth, so props to them. But they’re not Damage CTRL, and Rhea Ripley is not Bayley. She doesn’t have my experience, she doesn’t have my vision, she doesn’t have my girls. But yeah, there’s no decision to be made. The vision is clear."
