Bayley says it’s time for “The Role Model” to main-event WWE WrestleMania 40.
Bayley won the Women’s Royal Rumble, and she will challenge IYO SKY for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 40. Meanwhile, Becky Lynch won the Elimination Chamber match, and she will face Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania. Ripley has said that she believes they were worthy of main-eventing the show.
In an interview with Alex McCarthy for The Daily Mail, Bayley was asked about Ripley’s comments and whether she feels the same way about her match with SKY.
“I would never say that two women shouldn’t be main-eventing a WrestleMania, especially at the caliber of Rhea and Becky,” Bayley said. “Becky has had an insane career already and Rhea, her rise has been so quick. Fans love her. But she’s still so young.
“Rhea, you got time to main event WrestleMania some other time, because this year is mine and IYO’s year. This year has been the role model’s year, starting at Royal Rumble, OK? And I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I’ve been fighting for this for a long time.”
Bayley: I Would Like To Take That Spot
Bayley continued by saying that Lynch has already main-evented WrestleMania, so it was time for her to take that spot. She also said that the men could main-event one night, and she could get the other. Bayley then noted that women have never main-evented both nights and wondered why it couldn’t be this year.
“Becky’s had her main event spot, so it’s time for the role model, ding dong hello Bayley, to take this main event spot,” Bayley said. “You guys can have the first night and I’ll take the second night. You know, we can do that. You never had two women main-event both shows at WrestleMania. Why can’t it be this year? It’s the biggest WrestleMania of the year. With all due respect, I would like to take that spot. Rhea, you’re very young.”
