I would really like to go to Mexico. I&#8217;d one day like to go to Japan, one day go to Australia, but I think I really wanna go to Mexico. I kinda started watching wrestling through Lucha Libre because my grandmother was always watching Lucha Libre. I think it&#8217;d be so cool to bring NXT over there, I know how crazy and passionate those fans are. I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s ever been in the talks but I think that&#8217;d be really cool,&#8221; Bayley said in an ambassador-like role for NXT.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And, just to have as a whole monthly pay-per-views and be able to take our pay-per-views like we did to London and like we just did to Dallas. I think it would be cool to be able to expand our pay-per-views and be able to do more stuff like we did in London, but everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1286632538\"><div id=\"pwtor-1782524928\"><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>Former NXT Women&#8217;s champion Bayley is in the interesting position of being firmly entrenched in the NXT brand, but deserving of a main roster WWE call-up.
