Bayley names former WWE star as her first crush

Bayley recently revealed that she used to have a crush on Matt Hardy of The Hardy Boyz.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Dr. Chris Featherstone, the 35-year-old shared that she had a crush on Matt Hardy back in the day. The former champion noted that she was a fan of his beard and would argue with her sister because she was more attracted to Jeff Hardy.

"Matt Hardy. It started because I was a huge fan of The Hardy Boyz and my sister Brenda thought that Jeff Hardy was the hotter one. She's like, 'He's the hot one of the two' and I feel like everybody was like, that was the more popular opinion. But to me Matt Hardy was really... No I like the beard and I think in the ring he moves better. So it became a thing with me and my sister and that's really what fired it up." [From 00:57 to 01:23]
