Bayley has been one of the best female superstars on the WWE roster. Ever since rising in the ranks of NXT, she has been a tough competitor in the women’s division. There have been multiple occasions where she has captured the Women’s World Championship.
Despite not being in the main event scene for a while, it seems like she is making a comeback. She recently emerged victorious in a fatal 4-way match to become the new number one contender. Current WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton has never won a match against her. This puts her automatically at a psychological advantage.
Bayley even mentioned during an interview after the match that she has been in the ring with Tiffany all her career. She also mentioned that she knows her opponent very well and is prepared for anything.
She further mentioned that her whole career has been about grabbing opportunities. This victory on SmackDown was just her capturing another opportunity as well. Bayley also further credited the current champion for taking her opportunity on the previous episode of SmackDown. It has been a while since Bayley has won championship gold. The WWE Universe will be watching closely if she can capture the gold again.
Fans react to Bayley becoming No. 1 contender
Bayley has been a fan favorite ever since the beginning of her career. Even during her heel run, the fans were behind her and hoping for her to succeed. Her victory on SmackDown last night gave the fans a sense of hope for her to regain the top spot in the women’s division.
The WWE Universe has made multiple speculations regarding what could go down. There is a section of the fans who want to see her succeed again. Meanwhile, others want her to grow more as a character before capturing championship gold again. While a vast majority of the fans wanted to see Naomi be victorious.
All eyes will be on Bayley next Friday. It has been a good amount of time since she has held championship gold. The question of whether Bayley will be able to reach the top of her career again will be answered next Friday.
