"Rocky, can you Rock bottom Cole, please? Give Michael Cole a Rock Bottom," the Grand Slam champion said in the first video. "Michael Cole... stupid lights... Michael Cole, do your job," she said in the second video, with the caption, "He act[sic] like he couldn’t hear me…"

Bayley calls competing at WrestleMania 40 a 'huge honor'; wants to walk out as champion

After leaving the faction amid her feud with Damage CTRL, Bayley wants to dominate IYO SKY and become a champion once again.

Heading into Sunday's big-time match, the Grand Slam champion opened up about competing at WrestleMania for a sixth time, saying it is a 'huge honor' to be part of The Grandest Stage of Them All.

"WrestleMania is always so exciting. It’s the most special time of the year. That’s our Super Bowl. It’s always to me felt like it’s on another planet, even since I was a kid. This WrestleMania in particular, WrestleMania 40, this is the hottest WWE has ever been... To be a part of this gigantic show, WrestleMania 40, is insane. So the fact that I have a marquee match for a championship in a very personal, emotional story is a huge honor, I don’t take it lightly, and I can’t wait to walk out as WWE Women’s Champion, because this is history right here," Bayley said.

The Role Model has a 2-3 record in the five WrestleMania matches she has competed at. She appeared in four straight WrestleMania (from 33 to 36) and returned for the 2023 edition after a two-year absence.
