Mini bio
How it started.
Bayley attended Big Time Wrestling shows in Newark, California, from age 13. She waited until she was 18, the school’s minimum age, to begin training there, and recalled being the only woman in the class.
The Brooklyn breakthrough.
Her 2015 NXT Women’s Championship victory over Sasha Banks at TakeOver: Brooklyn became a defining moment. In a WWE interview afterward, she described preparing by watching tape and doing late-night cardio, then celebrating with her family.
From hugs to The Role Model.
She moved to WWE’s main roster in 2016. With Sasha Banks, she became one of the inaugural WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions in 2019. That year also brought a change from her smiling, hugging persona to a more ruthless character.
A new chapter.
Bayley returned from injury in 2022 to form Damage CTRL with IYO SKY and Dakota Kai. After winning the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble and splitting from the group, she defeated SKY for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania XL.
