Critique on Bayley’s Promo Skills from Former WWE Writer
Adding to the narrative, former WWE writer Vince Russo reviewed Bayley’s abilities on the microphone during a segment on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s BroDown. Russo compared her performances unfavorably to Charlotte Flair, noting Flair’s initial difficulties with crowd interaction but highlighting her significant growth over time.
Russo expressed frustration that Bayley has not shown comparable progress and urged her to either improve her promo work or face consequences. He underscored the importance of effective speaking skills in wrestling storylines and character development.
“When Charlotte first came and got on the mic, she would get so rattled by the crowd. I felt bad for her. But now you can see the confidence and the leaps and bounds. Bayley still can’t cut a promo. From day one to today, she has not gotten one iota better. Either she has no capability of being better, and you cut her, or she needs to improve her game,”
