During an interview with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely, Bayley discussed the recently announced multi-year partnership between WWE and TNA, revealing her immediate reaction to the news.
This is nuts that we’re in this relationship with TNA, that we have all these talented women in NXT. People coming all around the world to be part of this because it keeps getting bigger and bigger. The crazy thing about Royal Rumble is we have a good problem where we have too many women compared to the first year where we needed to bring in some legends and NXT talent. Now, we’re in a place where we have too many talented women, and it’s beautiful to see. When they announced the TNA partnership, I texted Hunter [Triple H] immediately, ‘Sign me up, dude.’ ‘Okay, hold your horses. They have a system they have to go with.’ I’m in NXT being able to work with a lot of these newer girls, so I’m excited to keep learning from different people.
The partnership’s first crossover at the 2025 Royal Rumble featured TNA World Champion Joe Hendry in the men’s match.
