Former WWE personality criticizes Bayley for being “boring” and “washed up”

In a video published to the Behind The Turnbuckle YouTube channel, Bayley’s role in the Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria storyline was discussed. Former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman gave the following response to the idea of Bayley returning for a feud with Becky after WWE Backlash 2025…

“Oh my God! You can’t be serious. You cannot be serious. [Why keep bringing up Bayley?] That’s my question. Bayley is done. She’s washed up. She’s boring. She’s nothing. She’s nothing anymore. What does she bring to the table? If you dropped Bayley off the roster today, what would we lose?”

“When I was in the WWE for 13 years, there would be certain people, and she’d be one of them, that you’d walk around backstage going, ‘How in the world is she winning the Royal Rumble? Or ‘How in the world is he doing that.’ To me, I think she’s a very sweet person but there’s a lot of sweet people. But I just don’t think she’s ever sold a ticket, like ever sold a ticket for any rivalry that she’s ever done.” (quotes courtesy of Sportskeeda.com)
