Bayley has demonstrated a willingness to work with Eva Marie and she explains why below:
And this might sound bad, but I really want to work with Eva Marie, just because it seems like that’s what people want. [“Why would that sound bad?”] [Bayley laughs] My fans don’t like her, so I don’t want them to be like, “Oh, why do you want to work with her?” But the reason is because she’s a different competitor and I think we’d have an interesting dynamic. I get a lot of tweets about Eva, and I can’t blame the fans, because all they really know is what they see on Total Divas, and they base their cheers on that, I guess. I’ve never personally had a problem with her; I don’t see her much, but the shows that she has done, I’ve seen her progressing each match, each show, each training session. I know that the drive is there to get better, so it’s up to her to see how far she can go.
There are a lot of reasons why WWE may want the match at Full Sail University instead of in a large arena. It could be to protect Eva Marie’s credibility because a larger crowd could be much more unpredictable. WWE may also just have specific plans already made for Bayley in London next month.
Bayley and Eva have worked together at NXT live events and Eva is improving. The next Takeover after London is most likely going to be in February. That’s a good stretch of time to get all elements aligned for Bayley vs. Eva Marie.
