Bayley shares her thoughts on WWE’s new women’s championships.

On the June 9 episode of WWE SmackDown, Asuka was presented with the WWE Women’s Championship, which replaced her Raw Women’s Championship. Then, on the June 12 episode of WWE Raw, Adam Pearce unveiled the Women’s World Championship and presented it to SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley.

Bayley, a WWE Women’s Grand Slam Champion, held the previous versions of the titles, as she is a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion and a former Raw Women’s Champion. Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Bayley was asked about the new titles and their significance to her.

 “I mean, they’re beautiful for one. I think it’s sad to see the other ones go, but it’s definitely time for a change because the locker room has changed so much, the roster has changed and grown so much. It’s kind of nice to see a brand-new slate, so to speak, just a brand-new look. It’s kind of reminded me of when they got rid of the Divas Title and we were presented with the brand-new Raw Women’s Title, and Lita unveiled it at WrestleMania. So it was kind of a cool moment to experience that, but now it lights a fire in me. I’ve done pretty much everything, so it lights a fire in me to want to see myself raising that title or to see IYO [SKY] raising either one of those titles,” Bayley said.

Bayley will have the chance to earn a shot at either title, as she has qualified for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. More information is available here.
