Bayley is putting her support behind one of the talents she helped develop. In a new portion of her Fox News Digital interview, The Role Model spoke warmly about independent wrestler Nikki Blackheart, who attended a WWE tryout in February after being part of Bayley’s Lodestone camp for independent women’s wrestlers in late 2025.
Bayley revealed she was present at the tryout herself — not as a coach, but as an observer. “Part of the reason why I wanted to be at that tryout was to see how they run these things nowadays. It’s been like 10 years since I’ve been a part of one. So I was just there kind of observing.” She stopped short of revealing any insider knowledge about WWE’s signing timeline, but her endorsement was clear. “I think she would obviously fit in great. I’m biased though, because I had her at my Lodestone seminar. So, if she shows up, I’ll be happy to show her around.”
Bayley Comes Up Short in Back-to-Back Title Matches
The interview comes on the heels of a tough stretch for Bayley, who fell short in two title matches within days of each other — challenging for both the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship and the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship without success.
