Emotional Showdown: Bayley’s Steel Pipe Retribution Sets Stage for WrestleMania 40 Clash!
In a surprising twist, Bayley addressed IYO SKY and The Kabuki Warriors in fluent Japanese, uttering the phrase “watashi wakaru yo,” translating to “I understand or I know” in English. This linguistic maneuver was a direct response to the trio’s previous habit of poking fun at Bayley in Japanese during her time with them. The revelation has ignited curiosity among fans, eagerly anticipating the upcoming weeks on SmackDown to witness the evolution of this newfound rivalry.
The aftermath of Bayley’s shocking turn took an interesting turn as a WWE veteran weighed in on why the SmackDown Superstar emerged victorious in the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble Match. The highly competitive Rumble Match featured formidable opponents like Nia Jax and Jade Cargill, yet Bayley’s one-hour-and-three-minute stay in the ring made history. Former WWE head writer Vince Russo shared insights on why Bayley was booked to win, shedding light on two key factors during an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW podcast.
Vince Russo said:
“I think Bayley went over for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they wanted Bayley vs. IYO SKY. And number two is, they really wanted to reward Bayley. Triple H made that clear at the press conference and I get that bro.”
