Bayley is looking forward to her upcoming NXT appearances, as she aims to “scout” talent. As noted, on last night’s episode of NXT, WWE announced that Bayley, Grayson Waller, and reigning Intercontinental Champion Penta would compete at NXT live events this weekend.
The live events are set to take place in Buffalo, New York (May 15), Canton, Ohio (May 16), and Johnstown, Pennsylvania (May 17). Following the announcement, Bayley took to social media and wrote that she will use these three live events to “scout” talent. She wrote:
“When the GOAT @JohnCena creates an opportunity for NXT talent to be seen, then it’s time to go scout…. See you guys this weekend 🫡🤼♀️ @WWENXT!” Check out her post below:

This comes on the heels of John Cena announcing the “John Cena Classic” at Backlash last weekend. The event, whose date, venue, and format have yet to be confirmed by WWE, will pit main roster stars against NXT talents. The winner will be decided via the votes of fans.
Bayley has since teased a showdown with current Women’s North American Champion Tatum Paxley. You can read more about that HERE.
