Bayley shows off new tattoo ahead of WWE SmackDown
WWE Women's Champion Bayley has shown off a new tattoo ahead of this Friday's edition of SmackDown. Friday's show will be the first episode of the blue brand following WWE Money in the Bank 2024.
There was not a women's title match booked for the premium live event over the weekend. Tiffany Stratton emerged victorious in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match and has guaranteed herself a future title shot. Bayley defeated Piper Niven at Clash at the Castle last month to retain her title and defeated the 33-year-old again on last week's edition of SmackDown.
Ahead of this Friday's show, the former leader of Damage CTRL took to her Instagram story to show off a new tattoo. You can check it out in the image below or watch the veteran's video by clicking here.
Bayley captured the WWE Women's Championship from her former Damage CTRL stablemate, Iyo Sky, at WrestleMania XL earlier this year. The 35-year-old won this year's Women's Royal Rumble match to earn the title shot.
Bayley picks a winner in a hypothetical match between two WWE SmackDown stars
WWE SmackDown star Bayley has picked a winner in a hypothetical match between Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair.
The former Women's Tag Team Champions dropped the titles to The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn) last month at Clash at the Castle. Speaking with Bill Apter of Sportskeeda Wrestling in an exclusive interview in April, Bayley claimed Belair would defeat Cargill in a match. She noted that The EST has more experience and she might have a different answer in a couple of years.
"If that match happens, I'm gonna have to go with Bianca, and that's only because she had so many matches with me. She's learned from the best! She, in the end, has more experience than Jade Cargill right now, and maybe that doesn't happen in a couple of years from now [compared to] if that match were to happen today. But I'm gonna have to go with The EST." [3:07 – 3:28]
