Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton have brought out the best part of this version of Bayley, the dark side that is borderline turning her into an anti-hero. It became no more evident than on the latest episode of SmackDown that the WWE Women’s Champion was fed up with being viewed as “NXT Hugger Bayley” and maybe the “BBL Bayley” accusation was a line crossed.
Bayley clapped back at the latter on social media but clapped face on Friday, in person, proving the former is definitely long gone.
Jax also wound up walking back her accusation.

During Tiffany Stratton’s match with Michin, seeing Jax interfere and almost handing Tiffy Time the win, Bayley emerged from the crowd to nearly concuss the 2024 Queen of the Ring with Stratton’s Money in the Bank briefcase.
The smoke tonight from @itsBayleyWWE was as free as her natural curves.

She’d then go into a rage and nearly destroy the briefcase itself while Stratton begged and pleaded for her to stop en route to being caught off-guard by Michin and losing the match.
Message sent: Bayley wants all of the smoke from whomever, and she doesn’t care if she’s outnumbered because she has no plans on dropping her belt at Summerslam or anytime thereafter.
