Bayley Says Paige Helped Her When She First Arrived in NXT, Praises Paige’s Work as the Smackdown General Manager
– The Sky Sports Lock Up podcast recently interviewed WWE Superstar Bayley. Below are some highlights (transcript via WrestlingInc.com).
Bayley on how close she is with Paige and how Paige helped her earlier in their careers: “We all know going into this business and stepping into the ring, there’s a possibility of injury. But you’re never expecting it to happen and when it does, it’s just the worst thing ever. Paige is someone who is very close to me – ya know, outside of the ring – she helped me when I first got to NXT. She was the only person that I knew when I started, she was the only person I met before, we met in [the wrestling promotion], Shimmer. She kind of looked out for me and introduced me to all the right people.”
Bayley on how positive a person Paige is and how she accepted her role as GM: “She’s such a good person and such a positive person. I think she’s accepted her role that she’s in now as the SmackDown General Manager and I think she’s doing such a great job. Such a character. And I know she’s going to do amazing things going forward in the company. Even though she can’t be in the ring anymore, and it’s heartbreaking, but she’s incredible.”
