Bayley, the former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion recently joined The New Day: Feel the Power and revealed about an advice that former WWE star, AJ Lee had given her.
Just be yourself: AJ Lee’s important advice to Bayley
Bayley had participated in the Women’s Survivor Series match as a member of Team SmackDown but was eliminated by Peyton Royce also marking as the first person to get eliminated.
During the podcast, she talked about AJ Lee, who was very supportive right from the beginning of her journey in WWE. Her advice of being herself and developing a character have changed the former WWE Raw Women’s Champion’s career.
She said:
“In that first month too, AJ [Lee] and Dolph [Ziggler] were on one of our shows. She pulled me aside and gave me this long talk about being myself, meeting the company halfway, and somewhere in the middle you’re going to find who you are and how it’s going to work. So, that’s when I had the whole epiphany of letting me just be me, figure out the best that I can, and wrestle. That was kind of how the transition went.”
“It took a long while for me to feel comfortable with being there and not trying to put on a show. Now when I look back, I just wish that I was me from the beginning, because it took a long time. I don’t know. I would just say it’s been a long trial and error of me just being– just be yourself and you’re going to be okay. If you’re not, at least you had fun being you instead of being under pressure and feeling weird this whole time.”
