5 things you didn't know about Bayley

Born Pamela Rose Martinez, Bayley is the current NXT Women’s Champion. As we head into NXT TakeOver: Dallas, the lesser talked about WWE event, where she will defend her title against Asuka, there’s a lot of speculation that Bayley might get elevated to the main WWE roster soon, and deservedly so.

Bayley is one of the most talented and likeable wrestlers we have ever seen. She is the ultimate babyface and you just can’t hate her. She is the pioneer of a new breed of wrestlers. Ones that rely on talent and persona more than looks.

She’s one of the biggest reasons why people have started taking women’s wrestling seriously and are starting to give it the respect it deserves. Bayley has won fans all over because of her talent. The best part about her is that her gimmick looks completely natural, something that’s extremely rare these days.

Bayley has excellent in ring skills where she can showcase a very wide range of maneuvers and aerial abilities. It won’t be long before she makes her way to the main roster and wins the hearts of the entire WWE Universe.

Here are 5 things you didn’t know about the current NXT Women’s Champion:

5) She’s fun and delightful in real life too

Most wrestlers have to adapt in order to play their gimmicks properly. Not all babyfaces are amiable in real life and a lot of heels are actually quite friendly in real life. One of the reasons why she essays her gimmick so well is because it comes naturally to her, so much so that she actually smiles too much.

When Bayley began her training, her trainer told her she should stop smiling so much.

The Doctor of Huganomics is also a big fan of comic books and action movies. Her ring gear at NXT TakeOver: Respect was decked out in red and gold, as a reference to the match she was taking part in (the main event: a thirty-minute Iron Man match), and, of course, to Iron Man.

She also likes pogo-sticking a lot and has been doing it since she was a kid.
