WWE News Roundup: Popular star reveals new look, Roman Reigns' rival breaks character, former champion's inquiry about Aalyah Mysterio (July 16, 2021)

#1 Natalya praises Bayley's demeanor throughout WWE's ThunderDome era

WWE's weekly episodes inside the ThunderDome are now over. The company returns to live touring from the July 16th edition of SmackDown, and fans are certainly looking forward to it.

One of the most successful stars in WWE's ThunderDome era was Bayley, who is currently out of action due to an injury. Now, WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Natalya has praised her during the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's InSide Kradle.

"She [Bayley] really made work better. She made work better for everyone and she was just such a rock star during the ThunderDome Era," said Natalya. "Even though she played the role of a bad girl on TV, she just made everything fun."

Natalya also mentioned how Bayley improvised her approach to WWE during the absence of a live crowd. She added that the currently injured star has been an inspiration to many people backstage.

"She reminded all of us that... we may not have all the resources that we want, because we don't have our audience right in front of us, but let's interact with each other." Natalya continued, "Let's yell at Michael Cole. Let's be silly. Let's be goofy. Let's turn it up. Let's just make the best out of this. So she's truly been an inspiration to myself and so many others at work."
