7-time WWE champion sends one-word message after securing a big title match for Bad Blood
On this week's episode of Friday Night SmackDown, a female WWE Superstar clinched a decisive victory, earning a championship match at Bad Blood 2024. The name in question is Bayley, who shared a one-word message about her journey to securing the title shot.
The Role Model is a two-time WWE Women's Champion, a two-time SmackDown Women's Champion, a two-time Women's Tag Team Champion, and a one-time NXT Women's Champion.

WWE veteran reveals why fans are not interested in Bayley's championship opportunity
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo commented on the number one contender's match between The Role Model and The Glow on last night's SmackDown.
Speaking on this week's BroDown, the 63-year-old criticized the WWE creative team for failing to book an ideal build-up to the Bayley vs. Naomi encounter. Russo argued that the lack of compelling storylines and character development made it difficult for fans to care about the outcome.
"The girls worked really, really hard. But let's be honest, why did we care if either one of these girls won or lost? Why do I want Bayley to win? Why do I want Naomi to win? I don't care who wins this match, and that's a problem. You gotta get me invested in your show; you gotta get me invested in your match; you gotta get me invested in your performers. I'm sitting here not caring who wins this match. So I am not invested," Russo said.
