RAW Superstar Bayley is Steve Austin’s guest on the latest episode of the Steve Austin Show podcast over at PodcastOne.com. During Part 1 of their discussion, Bayley spoke about her upcoming first trip to Japan, traveling with Sasha Banks, Dusty Rhodes, John Cena, what she loved about Eddie Guerrero and more.
Bayley portrays a squeaky-clean babyface character in WWE, but one of her main inspirations as a wrestler is Eddie Guerrero. She’s particularly a fan of Eddie’s heel work and his ability to make fans hate him.
“As far as wrestling and stuff, and [Eddie] being amazing and being able to do it all, literally one of the guys that can do it all, I remember watching him — this was like a couple of years ago, so I was already here — and I was watching his old matches in WCW when he was just a heel coming out with his hair soaking wet,” she said.
“He looked miserable! You don’t get that anymore out of heels being like coming out like they’re completely miserable and that makes you like… ‘Dude, if you don’t want to be here just don’t come then!’ That’s how I felt watching him. It’s like ‘Why are you even doing this if you don’t even want to do it?'”
It remains to be seen if we’ll ever see Bayley’s character snap and turn heel, but she plans to take the same approach as Eddie Guerrero did to turn fans against her.
“And then he’d get into the ring and be so nasty and just have that look of like disgust and he was too good for it all. I don’t know, it was something about that, like, I always told myself too if I were to ever be heel I want to make myself so miserable because that’s one of the most hateable things, I think”
