Speaking on the Johnny I Pro Show, Aliyah credit Bayley for the segment coming together.

"Bayley, she’s awesome, just wanna say huge congrats to her. She’s champ right now and she’s absolutely killing it. I think I was scheduled to wrestle Bayley in that match, I think Bayley went out of her way that day and I think she went to the writers and producers and pitched the backstage promo with Trish Stratus, for me to have it with Trish. I’m so beyond grateful for Bayley, she’s such an amazing locker room leader and she does little things like to stand up for the other girls. If she has an idea, she’ll go pitch it just to make the show better," said Aliyah.
