Bayley Praises Lyra Valkyria: “She Teaches Me So Much”

Bayley has opened up about her tag team partnership with Lyra Valkyria, which began last year before WrestleMania 41. The two wrestlers initially clashed over the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, but their dynamic has since evolved, with Bayley taking on more of a mentoring role alongside Valkyria. This partnership has become a focal point for Bayley as she navigates her WWE career, emphasizing growth and mutual support.

Bayley’s Approach to Challenges During WrestleMania Season

During an interview on Busted Open, Bayley was asked about her feelings regarding the uncertainty around her role during the WrestleMania season. She expressed that, despite not having a clear direction, she remains committed to making the best of her situation, especially through her collaboration with Lyra Valkyria. Bayley’s focus is on evolving and giving her all within the opportunities available, particularly in her current tag team.

“I love to constantly evolve if I’m in these spots where I feel I know I could be doing better or I know I could be doing more. I just try to figure out what I can do with what’s in front of me. Right now, I feel like that’s me and Lyra as a team. Her and I have these conversations a lot now. I’m like, you know what, if you want to dump me, just go ahead and do your own thing. She’s like, ‘No!’ We both believe in this team so much. I feel like she helps me a lot. She teaches me so much. She, a lot this past year, has kept me hopeful and grounded. I feel like I’ve done a little bit different for her. We’re trying to bring her out of her shell and show more of who she truly is aside from how incredible she is in the ring. We both really believe in this tag team. We’re put in these situations all the time for a reason, and they’re nice tests. I think it really shows your true character when your back’s against the wall, and you’re not just in that spotlight. It’s like, what are you going to do here, though?”
