Bayley Defends Eva Marie

The current NXT Women’s Champion was barely able to defeat Eva Marie during last week’s edition of NXT. There has been a lot of negative reaction surrounding Eva Marie and putting her against the most beloved NXT Women’s Champion ever could have been a mistake in booking.

However, Bayley recently did an interview with digitalspy.com about her experiences working and wrestling with Eva Marie. The full interview can be read right here. Below are the highlights:

What did you think of the reaction to Eva from the NXT Full Sail crowd? 

“I thought it was amazing… I love being in a ring with Eva Marie because of the crowd reaction she gets. It also helps me feed off of it. Even being in the ring with her is something really special.

This may sound funny – I’ve never heard fans boo somebody as much as they boo her. To me, it’s amazing because the fans really care about what’s going on in the ring.

Whether they hate her, or they love me, or they just don’t want this match to happen, or they do want the match to happen, whatever it is they care about it.

It’s an amazing feeling that a person can get the reaction like she does from all these fans. They hate her and it just makes our job so much more fun. At least for me – I don’t know how she feels!”

Did she deserve a title match? 

“Right… there’s tonnes of people who in my opinion deserve a match before her, but I know she’s been training hard. I guess she has her ways and just asks for the match. Our stories are very different, I had to work for it! But she can do whatever she wants… I’ll show her.”
