Speaking to Stephanie Chase of Digital Spy, Bayley talked about the importance of Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks in WWE) to her.
The two women held the Women’s Tag Team Titles together while in WWE. They also stole the show at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn.
The former Damage CTRL leader said, “[Mercedes] is the best, I wouldn’t be here without her. She’s done so much for me. Even after she was done with WWE, she’s been there for me in my big moments. So I know I need to be there for her continuously throughout the years. It was incredible, I’m just happy that she was on a Wednesday [AEW Dynamite] where I’m like, ‘alright, I can actually make a Wednesday, that’s one of our few days off.’ It was really special to see her celebrate with her family and her friends and people she started wrestling with and see her welcomed by a new family. It’s bittersweet, but I’m very, very proud of her and just so grateful we got to be there.”
