"Extra Baggage" - Top WWE Superstar seemingly insults Sasha Banks
Bayley recently shared a tweet that seemingly looked like a jibe at her former tag team partner, Sasha Banks.
Banks and Bayley are best friends in real life. The two have had nothing but praise for each other in past interviews. The Role Model is currently out with an injury, and occasionally posts tweets aimed at fellow WWE Superstars.
She recently engaged in an amusing Twitter war with WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix. Phoenix posted a meme targeting Bayley, hinting that the latter is 'all talk' but isn't a match for her in the ring. Bayley responded to the tweet by seemingly taking a shot at Sasha Banks.
For those who aren't aware, Beth Phoenix's meme features a still from WrestleMania 35, where The Role Model teamed up with Banks and the duo lost their Women's Tag Team titles.
"Bayley when she tweets vs Bayley when we wrestle," wrote Phoenix.
