Bayley’s popularity has soared since her turn as a babyface in the WWE, garnering a strong fan base. However, not everyone is on board with this newfound admiration for “The Role Model,” as evidenced by Chelsea Green’s social media campaign against her.
In a recent backstage segment on WWE SmackDown, tensions escalated between Chelsea Green and Bayley. Green accused Bayley of jinxing Piper Niven in her match against Jade Cargill in the Queen of the Ring tournament, leading to a challenge from the reigning Women’s Champion. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis made the match official, setting the stage for an intense showdown.
Despite Green’s belief that the match would be for the championship, it was announced as a non-title bout. Expressing her disappointment on social media, Green rallied fans with her “If Bayley wins, we riot” message.
Amidst the drama, Bayley commended the women’s roster for their performances in the Queen of the Ring tournament. She highlighted the talent and dedication displayed by her colleagues, emphasizing the significance of such opportunities for female wrestlers. Bayley’s enthusiasm even led her to suggest more tournaments to showcase the division’s depth and skill.
Bayley’s journey to the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 40, where she defeated IYO SKY, has been marked by triumphs, including a successful title defense at Backlash: France in a thrilling triple-threat match. Her resilience and skill have solidified her status as a dominant force in the women’s division.
The evolving dynamics between Bayley and Chelsea Green, coupled with the ongoing developments in the women’s division, promise an exciting chapter in WWE’s narrative.
