Bayley names 5-time WWE champion as her first crush (Exclusive)
The WWE Women's Champion Bayley apparently had a crush on a former WWE Superstar, something which many would claim to be unusual. In a recent interview, she explained the reasoning behind naming Matt Hardy as her first pro-wrestling crush.
Matt had a notable career during his time in the Stamford-based promotion, bagging a number of singles titles as well as several Tag Team Titles with Jeff Hardy. While Jeff was arguably the more popular one, Bayley claims to have been fascinated with Matt more.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Dr. Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda Wrestling, The Rold Model explained:
"Matt Hardy. It started because I was a huge fan of The Hardy Boyz and my sister Brenda thought that Jeff Hardy was the hotter one. She's like, 'He's the hot one of the two' and I feel like everybody was like, that was the more popular opinion. But to me Matt Hardy was really... No I like the beard and I think in the ring he moves better. So it became a thing with me and my sister and that's really what fired it up." [From 00:57 to 01:23]

Bayley also took a shot at a WWE star ahead of SummerSlam
Considering Tiffany Stratton currently holds the Money in the Bank briefcase, there is a chance that she may cash it in at SummerSlam. However, Bayley does not seem worried about it.
Speaking in an interview with Emily Mae for WrestlingNews.co, Bayley explained why Nia Jax had more to worry about in terms of Tiffany Stratton's future. The WWE Women's Champion stated:
"Well, I would by lying if I said no. I just know, one thing is we know that Tiffany's a little, she's kind of an idiot. You know? I'm sure she has little games of her own but she is also being a part of Nia (Jax), Nia is teaching her. Nia has all of the experience. So, Tiffany has the drive to want to be the best, the ambition to want this title, but she also has now the experience of Nia Jax. But I don't think I need to worry about her as much as Nia needs to worry about her," she said. [From 01:32 - 02:03]
As of now, fans will have to stay tuned to see whether Bayley will be able to retain her belt at SummerSlam.
