Bayley Reveals Her Role in Advocating for WWE Women’s Titles

WWE SmackDown superstar Bayley recently sat down with Brad Gilmore on the Reality of Wrestling YouTube channel, diving into some hot topics like the Royal Rumble and the newly minted Women’s United States Championship. The wrestling veteran also got candid about her role in pushing for new titles and the current state of women’s tag team wrestling in WWE.

When asked if she was instrumental in advocating for the Women’s United States Championship, Bayley revealed, “I didn’t push for it as much as I did the women’s tag titles. Like those tag titles, we were at the door every single week. We had pitches. We had teams together. We were there every single week for months. I can fully say that we were, you know, like we’re the ones who made it happen. We weren’t stopping until it happened.”

But when it came to the U.S. title, Bayley admitted she took a different approach. “With this one, it’s more of ones that I would say in interviews, and that’s only because I believe that we can carry a secondary title like that. I believe the division is ready for it,” she explained.

However, Bayley’s focus on nurturing the women’s tag division made it tough for her to push for another belt at the time. “It was hard to say, ‘I want another title’ when I still think there’s so much work to be done with the tag titles. So it was hard to say, ‘Let’s have another one’ when this one still needs to be watered a little bit.”

Bayley gave a major shout-out to fellow WWE stars Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill for their roles in elevating the women’s tag division. “Right now, I feel like it’s in a really good place. Jade Cargill and Bianca are really elevating those titles, and we have so many great tag teams,” Bayley said. “Kudos to Bianca and Jade for really pushing that on the company and on the fans.”

With her dedication and passion, Bayley continues to be a major voice for progress in WWE’s women’s division.
