In the world of professional wrestling, appearances can be as impactful as in-ring skills, and WWE Superstar Bayley’s transformation after WrestleMania 40 is a testament to that. The Role Model, who is known for her dynamic persona, recently squared off against IYO SKY for the coveted Women’s Championship. The match was more than just a title bout; it was a clash of former allies. Bayley, alongside Dakota Kai and The Kabuki Warriors, was once a part of the formidable Damage CTRL faction. However, the tables turned when Bayley, after her victory in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble, was betrayed by her comrades, including The Genius of SKY, Kairi Sane, Asuka, and Kai.
Bayley’s prowess in the ring was on full display in Philadelphia, where she emerged victorious over IYO SKY, claiming the title of new Women’s Champion. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley, a member of The Judgment Day, also had her moment of glory as she successfully defended the Women’s World Championship against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania. Following her triumph, Bayley took to Instagram to unveil a striking new look, featuring shaved Pyramids and an “XL” design etched on the back of her head. This bold style choice appears to mark WrestleMania 40 as a significant milestone in her career.
The new look did not go unnoticed by fellow WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley, who responded to Bayley’s Instagram post with a playful and fiery seven-word message, “Go have a back spasm”… I WILL! 🤣🔥.” The comment, which was shared on social media, showcases the camaraderie and competitive spirit that exists between the women of WWE.
In another corner of the WWE Universe, a former WWE writer, Vince Russo, shared his thoughts on recent events on Monday Night RAW. He critiqued the altercation where Liv Morgan launched a surprise attack on Rhea Ripley, only to be interrupted by officials who rushed to quell the backstage confrontation. Russo expressed his skepticism on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW, dismissing the attack as frivolous and predicting that any feud between Morgan and Ripley would ultimately see Ripley prevail.
As the WWE universe buzzes with anticipation, fans are left to speculate on the future of these rivalries. With only hints of a feud between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley, the direction of their storyline remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the WWE community is eagerly awaiting the next episode of Friday Night SmackDown, where it will be revealed who is set to challenge Bayley for the Women’s Championship. As the drama unfolds, the WWE continues to captivate its audience with a blend of athletic prowess and compelling narratives.
