Bayley comments on being featured less than other WWE stars despite her accomplishments

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet during WWE WrestleMania 41 week in Las Vegas, Bayley commented on being featured less than other WWE stars despite her accomplishments…

“I don’t get on the press conference. I don’t get on the posters. I don’t get to do the talk shows. I don’t know what else to do, and it’s not like [there’s an issue], there’s no heat backstage or anything like that. Hunter [Triple H] and I have a really good relationship. Bruce [Prichard] and I have a really good relationship, all the TR, I have such a good relationship with them, and I’ve always been professional. Even when I’ve gone to other shows to support my friends, we’ve had those conversations of like, the do’s and the don’ts, and that was a little too much. We’ve had those conversations, so I think we’re at a real respect level. Hunter has gone on a press conference being like, Bayley’s this, Bayley’s this, she’s everything that you could possibly want out of a superstar, which I appreciate. But it’s like alright, well what do I need to do to get me there?”

Bayley also addressed internet criticism that she has received…

“I don’t let things get to me and I stopped reading tweets or comments and all that stuff a long time ago. But I do feel that, and I see that, and I’m just like, What am I missing? So that’s the one thing that still gets to me, and maybe that’s ego or pride or whatever. But I’m just like, What am I missing that you don’t understand what I’ve done for this industry? It’s hard to explain, especially now, because I feel like, okay, I’ve been wrestling for like 16 years altogether. So I’m like, Okay, well obviously I’m gonna slow down at some point, but now when I see sh*t like that, ‘She’s not this or not this…’ Now I gotta prove them wrong. But there’s also a part of me that feels and agrees with them. I was just telling Lyra this the other day. We’ve been doing a lot of bonding. I don’t feel that I’m at a level of Charlotte or a Becky. We came up together and I wrestled Charlotte in her first match ever, I was signed to WWE before Becky. So to me, they’re up here, and I’m just not there yet. Maybe that’s kind of where people base it off, or where they judge it, or whatever. But I keep saying I get my feedback and opinions from the right people. To me, someone like Tyler Breeze, who taught me so many things. I still talk to him about all my matches, he still gives me feedback, he still gives me ideas to this day and if he enjoys something that I do, then I believe it, and I respect it. But if he tells me you need to do this better, I’ll do it. Someone like TJ, whatever he says, I respect it, and I believe him. So as many people think that I’m not at this level, or whatever, part of me agrees with them, because I don’t think I’m there yet.” (quotes courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com)
