Trivia / Bayley

• Creative Differences: Downplayed. After losing their Tag Team Championships at Wrestlemania 35, both her and Sasha Banks openly voiced their displeasure, but unlike Sasha, who took several months off, Bayley decided to stick around and was eventually rewarded with a lengthy title reign.
• Playing Against Type: 2019 saw her make a heel turn for the first time in her WWE career. She had rarely been the heel beforehand either.
• Portmanteau Couple Name: Bay-Mella for her friendship with Carmella.
• Promoted Fanboy: She's been a wrestling fan since the age of eleven and started wrestling at eighteen.
• Suppressed Mammaries: Unlike most females, her ring attire is designed to de-emphasize her large breasts on account of her being a Kid-Appeal Character as a face.
• Throw It In!: Bayley's bullying of Michael Cole was a product of needing someone to play off in the closed door shows during the pandemic.
• What Could Have Been:
  • When she was first signed, she wrestled several live events wearing a mask and using the name "Luchadora".^note Interestingly, WWE began a masked woman wrestler angle in late 2016 where the woman was named "La Luchadora", but it's airing on the SmackDown brand with Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss and a returning Mickie James, with Bayley on Raw. A picture from an FCW live event can be seen here◊.
  • Prior to Becky Lynch's TV debut, they were wrestling on live events wearing matching outfits and doing synchronised moves. They tagged together once on TV but nothing else came of it.
  • Her and Finn Bálor spent a short period of time doing some very fanservicey things, including a Dirty Dancing-inspired segment during an NXT show when the cameras were off. It's still unsure whether this was an Aborted Arc (whether just for the pairing itself or for an NXT "Bálor Club" angle), Word of God acknowledging fans shipping them or if they were actually dating off-screen for a while. It's probably the second option.
  • Bayley was originally supposed to be the one called up to TV with Charlotte and Sasha Banks but she was injured at the time, and so the spot was given to Becky Lynch instead. If one looks at Becky's role in the storyline - as the lone Morality Pet and All-Loving Hero in Team PCB - it was rather obviously written for Bayley. Likewise on NXT, Becky had just had a title match with Sasha Banks, so presumably she would have been pushed as NXT Women's Champion in the way Bayley was eventually.
