Bayley comments on wrestling first NXT house show in 10 years
Bayley wrestled her first NXT house show in 10 years on Friday night at Buffalo RiverWorks in Buffalo, New York.
She was one of three main roster stars, along with Penta and Grayson Waller, who took part in the NXT live event.
Bayley teamed with Kendal Grey and Tatum Paxley in a win over Kelani Jordan, Nikkita Lyons and Zaria.
Prior to the show, Bayley posted to social media about it having been 10 years between her NXT live event appearances.
“10 years since I’ve done #wwenxt live events. Feeling nostalgic,” she wrote.
Bayley was asked what the most exciting part of wrestling in NXT at this stage in her career was.
“The challenge. It’s not the NXT I once knew and these women are DIFFERENT,” she answered.
Asked how she feels to see younger talent being influenced by her career, Bayley wrote:
“It makes me believe in putting everything you have into what you feel in your heart.”
She was asked about her favorite opponents from previous NXT house shows:
“Mercedes, Asuka, EVA MARIE,” Bayley answered.
Regarding her thoughts on Grey, her teammate for the evening, Bayley wrote, “Annoying how talented she is.”
