Bayley Speaks on Winning the NXT Women’s Championship, the Term ‘Diva’

NXT Women’s Champion Bayley was recently interviewed by The Post and Courier, promoting their upcoming show in Charleston, South Carolina, on April 9. In the interview, she discussed a number of topics, including winning the championship, the growth of Charlotte, and the term ‘Diva’ in sports entertainment.

 

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On winning the NXT Women’s Championship:

“All I could do was cry. As much as you dream about something and you prepare for a match, that was the moment I had been waiting for ever since I was a kid. You really can’t ever prepare for that feeling of the final three count and the sound of the crowd.”

On Charlotte:

“It really been amazing watching her grow. When I first got there, she hadn’t even had her first match with NXT. I remember having her first match on TV with her dad (Ric Flair) out there. She was out for about a month with a broken toe, but when she got back she was even better. Every time she’s in the ring she’s getting better and better. It’s been fun watching her grow. With everything’s she’s gone through, she just keeps going.”

On the term ‘Diva’:

“I think nowadays ‘diva’ could be meant in so many different ways. The way the roster is right now, with the Divas Revolution, you don’t necessarily see divas that are stuck up and who only care about their looks. It is what you make it. I grew up on the women’s division and the women’s championship. That name is more special to me. I’m the NXT women’s champion. But when it comes time and I’m part of the divas division, the title really doesn’t bug me anymore like it used to when I was a kid.”
