Bayley discusses interest in future WWE behind-the-scenes role
Becoming a WWE producer in the future is something that interests Bayley.
A new episode of Six Feet Under debuted on Wednesday with The Undertaker and Michelle McCool interviewing Bayley. On the podcast, the former WWE Women’s Champion addressed whether she would be interested in working in creative or becoming a producer whenever her in-ring career ends. Bayley — who would like to open her own wrestling school someday — said she’s tried out doing some producing in the past. It’s a hard job, but Bayley thinks she would enjoy continuing to work with her friends even after her days in the ring are over.
“I don’t know if creative-wise if I would be in the writers’ room or anything good like that. But maybe like producing, I would enjoy that. [On the Monday before the podcast was recorded], I sat for the girls’ match with the headset. And I’ve done it a few times, I’ve produced stuff in NXT,” Bayley said. “It’s very hard, and I don’t know if I’d be a good producer right now. I see myself more as like a coach or if I were to open a school, you know, coaching and stuff, it’s very different than producing.
“But then when I think, okay, however much longer I’m going to be wrestling, like, there’s still all the girls that I want to see them grow in their career. I feel like Roxanne [Perez], she’s 23. Like, okay, if I could be a producer and be around and producing your match, that would be awesome. So I have that, like, okay, maybe I should try to learn how to do that better so I can be around and be part of it and just wear another hat. But I don’t know about creative-wise or in the writers’ room. I think that sounds scary.”
Bayley is set to hold a free three-day seminar in Orlando, Florida this week. The seminar attendees were selected by Bayley from a group of applicants who already had prior wrestling experience.
