She said she restricted herself for no reason and that now, &#8220;Nobody&#8217;s telling me no. Nobody&#8217;s telling me I can&#8217;t do this, I can&#8217;t look a certain way, I can&#8217;t do that.&#8221; Bayley said the compliments she&#8217;s received actually helps her feel more in-character and feel like the whole package.<\/p>\n<p>She praised Bianca Belair, saying she &#8220;has the ability to do it all.&#8221; She also praised Belair for having such composure despite her relative inexperience.<\/p>\n<p>Bayley did say it &#8220;sucked&#8221; to not be on the\u00a0<em>WrestleMania\u00a0<\/em>card, but also that she wouldn&#8217;t talk about it anymore because she &#8220;finally put it to peace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The interview closed with a question on if there could be more than one role model in wrestling, to which Bayley shook her head no. This led to a question on Baker, AEW&#8217;s resident role (&#8220;roll&#8221;) model, with Staszewski asking about their Twitter back-and-forth. Bayley said she loves Baker and she &#8220;can&#8217;t hate on her.&#8221; Bayley said there&#8217;s no disrespect of hard feelings and she only wants the best for Baker because &#8220;as a role model, that&#8217;s how you&#8217;re supposed to react to those types of things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other topics discussed included the introduction of her &#8220;Ding Dong, Hello&#8221; segments, growing on the mic, and thoughts on Alexa Bliss.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/05\/18\/jon-moxley-autobiography-details-emerge-pre-orders-available-w-heydorns-analysis\/\">Jon Moxley autobiography details emerge, pre-orders available (w\/ Heydorn\u2019s Analysis)\u00a0<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-741839912\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1246243056\"><div id=\"pwtor-2890500286\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>In a pre-WrestleMania Backlash\u00a0interview with Joseph Staszewski of the\u00a0New York Post, Bayley commented on various subjects from her character transformation, to becoming more comfortable on promos, to her thoughts on AEW&#8217;s Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/05\/18\/bayley-speaks-highly-of-aew-womens-division-star-success-with-her-new-character-more\/\" title=\"Bayley speaks highly of AEW women&#8217;s division star, success with her new character, more\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":104330,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[127,71],"class_list":["post-119552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prowrestlingnews","category-news_wwe","tag-bayley","tag-wwe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/09\/bayley-sasha.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119552"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119552\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":119576,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119552\/revisions\/119576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
