1) Her influences and what she thinks of the word “Diva”
Most pro-wrestlers today have their childhood heroes. Wrestlers that inspired them to take up the profession. And we can see the inspiration in their style, gimmicks and the way they wrestle in the ring.
Does Bayley’s outfit remind you of someone else’s? A WWE legend’s? As Bayley confirmed, the inspiration behind her outfit was none other than the Macho Man Randy Savage. Her other influences include The Rock, The Hardy Boyz, Lita, Ivory, Victoria and Triple H.

Here’s what she thinks about the word ‘Diva’- “I think nowadays ‘diva’ could be meant in so many different ways. The way the roster is right now, with the Divas Revolution, you don’t necessarily see divas that are stuck up and who only care about their looks. It is what you make it. I grew up on the women’s division and the women’s championship. That name is more special to me. I’m the NXT women’s champion. But when it comes time and I’m part of the divas division, the title really doesn’t bug me anymore like it used to when I was a kid.”
Fun Fact- She had an admirer in the great Dusty Rhodes who told her never to get rid of her ponytail.
