"I'm pretty awesome. I don't have to be this humble kid anymore" – Bayley on her WWE transformation (Exclusive)
Bayley has given an insight into the evolution of her WWE character over the years.
The 33-year-old made her name in NXT as one of the most popular babyfaces in the brand's history. Many felt that the current RAW Superstar would perform as a fan favorite forever. However, she finally turned heel in 2019 after three years on the main roster.
Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta asked Bayley about the changes in her on-screen persona since he last interviewed the Damage CTRL member during her babyface run:
"I honestly think that what I've been doing throughout my career has kind of just aligned with who I am as a person," Bayley said. "What I was doing, probably when you interviewed me, I was very young in my career and still new to WWE and just kind of trying to make it still in my mind." [5:33 – 5:50]
The former RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion added that she no longer feels like she needs to play down her WWE accomplishments:
"Once I kind of got over this hump and woke up one day and realized like, 'I'm pretty awesome. I don't have to be this humble kid anymore. I've been here long enough. I've proved myself. I've had memorable matches,' and that's how my mind started thinking, and where I'm at now just kept growing and growing," Bayley continued. [5:51 – 6:12]
In the video above, Bayley discussed the comparisons between her Damage CTRL faction and The Bloodline. She also revealed which RAW Superstar she would like to join her group at Survivor Series WarGames.

Bayley also spoke about Damage CTRL potentially feuding with Becky Lynch in the near future.
