Inter-gender matches are an absolute rarity in WWE, but it seems like former SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley is keen to add that to her incredible match catalog. The Damage CTRL leader recently challenged veteran announcer Michael Cole to a match at WrestleMania, which generated huge noise from fans.
Bayley has had an on-screen rivalry with Michael Cole ever since she turned heel a few years back and is often seen taking a dig at the color commentator. The Role Model stated on this week's The Bump that she would love to have a match with the 54-year-old at The Grandest Stage of Them All next year. She also hinted at going after Cole's job.
Fans were quick to react to the RAW star's words, with many expressing excitement over the two arch-rivals potentially meeting inside the squared circle. Some even pointed out Michael Cole's undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
