Bayley immediately told Triple H she wanted to wrestle in TNA when their partnership with the WWE was announced.
2024 saw a number of talents from NXT and TNA appearing on each other’s shows. This led to an official partnership being announced in January. TNA World Champion Joe Hendry appeared in the Royal Rumble match, as he became the latest wrestler from TNA to cross over.
One person who was very excited about the partnership was Bayley. The former WWE Women’s Champion spoke with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely at the WWE 2K25’s Hands-On Event. She revealed that she immediately texted Triple H to be a part of the partnership as soon as it was announced.

“Dude, not even two years ago—this is nuts. We’re in this relationship with TNA. We have all these talented women in NXT. People are coming from all around the world to be a part of this because it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.” Bayley said.
“The crazy thing about the Royal Rumble this year is that we have a good problem. We have too many women. Compared to the first year, when we needed to bring in Legends and NXT talent to fill out the match. Now we’re in a place where we have too many talented women. And it’s just beautiful to see.
“When they announced the TNA partnership, I texted Hunter immediately and said, ‘Sign me up, dude.’ He was like, ‘Oh, okay, hold your horses.’ You know, they’ve got a system, they’ve got to go through the process. But being in NXT and working with a lot of these newer girls, I’m excited to just keep learning from different people.” added Bayley.
