For Bayley, not allowing Pamela Martinez, which is her real name, and her real emotions to alter her new heel persona is very important. Speaking exclusively with Sports Illustrated, Bayley discussed her recent match with Naomi in Saudi Arabia and taking time to soak in the moment.
“I was very proud to be wrestling Naomi,” said Bayley. “That was our first singles match together, ever. She was a Funkadactyl, she had a WrestleMania match cut, she’s been part of the company for so long. She’s done so much, and sharing that moment with her was very special for me.”
“My sister always tells me to take a moment, so there was a moment was I stopped and thought, ‘Holy crap, I’m defending my title in Saudi Arabia,’” she continued. “But I can’t go into Pam too much. I just get too emotional.”
