Bayley appeared on the ‘Steve Austin Show’ podcast last week and told Steve Austin that she was in a ‘weird spot’ in her career at the moment. Part 2 of the interview just dropped where Bayley went into a little more depth about what she meant by that.
Bayley says that she wants to evolve as a character. This could even possibly mean changing up her look in order to freshen things up:
“It’s hard to explain. I think I just… I guess it’s just time to evolve. Because I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing for the past four years but you always need to evolve, and I plan on doing this for a really long time. So I know it needs to go in just, like, different directions, maybe a different attitude. I guess I’m coming off my Extreme Rules match with Alexa Bliss where I didn’t use the kendo stick on her, and it’s time for me to evolve and kind of see where else, different avenues I can go as my character, and just try to reach different points and take that next step as Bayley. I don’t know, I kind of feel like I’m in between that right now. I’m still trying to stay who I was and what got me to the dance, that’s what I was always told.”
Austin brought up the Undertaker changing his look from the ‘Deadman’ to the ‘American Badass’. Bayley references the Undertaker when talking about potentially changing her look up:
“I don’t even know if it’s just a change of look. Like how we were saying Undertaker just came out as The American Badass, completely different from what he was doing. It’s not necessarily turning from a good guy to a bad guy or anything. Even if it was as simple as taking my ponytail out and just having hair down, or cutting my hair, or having different gear; just something a little different I think I need. That’s just to change my look just to evolve a little bit. And maybe change a little bit of things in the ring”
After telling a story about Seth Rollins giving her advice to channel her inner ‘Stone Cold’ in the ring, Bayley says a combination of more aggression and a tweak of her look could be the right thing to do:
“…So I don’t know, maybe a combination of more aggression and changing my look a little bit could be cool. That’s just kind of how I’m feeling.”
