Current NXT women's champion Bayley was interviewed by Sam Roberts' Wrestling Podcast' recently. She talked about how she is the last horsewomen in NXT, Becoming the leader in the Locker room and more.
She said that splitting up with the other 3 horsewoman Sasha Banks, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch, is a bittersweet experience for her. She misses them but now also enjoys the fact that she is the focus point of NXT women's division:
"It's kind of bittersweet. It's really weird and hard to [explain] because I grew up with them. We started in NXT together and Full Sail [University] together. To watch them go off [to the main roster], like, it's amazing and I'm so proud [of them], but it's kind of like, 'man, I miss having them around!' I miss having matches with them, but at the same time, it's all eyes on me [now] and I'm like the front end of this new era of women coming up in NXT. And it's like, man, there are so many amazing performers coming up and I'm so happy that I'm the [NXT Women's] Champion and get to be a part of it and get to work with them."
She said that she has evolved to be the Locker room leader and it has helped her in her own development:
"It's really cool because now I'm literally the one who has been here the longest out of the women who we train with. And, so, I try to be the best leader in the locker room that I can. I really enjoy helping and teaching and stuff. And when we're training with Sara Del Rey, if she misses something, she asks me if there's something that I saw that maybe she didn't catch. And, so, it feels really cool. I'm kind of like a little assistant [coach] sometimes. It's a whole new level of learning when I'm able to help someone else out."
When asked how she manages to not getting ego problems she said:
"At the [WWE] Performance Center, we're all at the same level. We're all at NXT. We're all wanting to get to the main roster. That's the way I see it. That's the way Coach [Matt] Bloom always says it. We're allright here. Whether we're the champions or not, we all need to treat each other equal."
