Bayley Speaks About Not Getting Drafted, Being Motivated, Her Plans Moving Forward

Bayley didn’t get drafted, and the masses were livid. Bayley herself? Not so much.

Bayley spoke to WWE.com about her plans moving forward, and didn’t make much of a mention regarding Tuesday Night’s WWE Draft. Nia Jax, Carmella and Alexa Bliss were all selected, leaving the former NXT Women’s Champion behind. Bayley says that regaining her title is the most important thing.

“Winning back that title has always been my top priority, because being the best has always been my goal in NXT. Ever since I lost the Women’s Championship to Asuka, I feel like I’ve been targeted in a whole different way. People have tried to keep me down and keep me away from the title picture to make sure that I never get a chance again. And personally, I’ve struggled with a lot of doubt in myself at times. I’ve become more aggressive than I was last April. I’m more demanding. I know I deserve this rematch, and I won’t take no for an answer any longer,” Bayley says.

While Bayley wasn’t selected, her best friend Carmella was. Bayley congratulated her friend on Twitter, followed by a series of tweets that said the draft motivated her.

“You win some, you lose some. I’m so proud of Carmella. Love you sister. Now go moonwalk to Smackdown. Thank you WWE Draft for motivating me to end my workout doing 12 sled pushes with a 45 pound plate on it. The WWE Draft has come and gone. I will become (two-time) NXT Women’s Champion,” she said.
