Bayley discusses The Rose Plant.
Despite having a finisher known to many with The Bayley To Belly, in recent years Bayley has returned to using The Rose Plant, an arm-trap headlock driver she used prior to signing with WWE when she was on the independent circuit.
While speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Bayley spoke about The Rose Plant, noting that she isn't sure why fans hate it, but admits sometimes she thinks it sucks too.
"Everyone hates my finish, huh? Sorry guys. It was a finish that I did on the indies. [Why do they hate it?] I don't know. The setup is really hard. Sometimes I'm like trying to figure out where to put it, or how to get into it. I'm like, Man, this is annoying. This move sucks. But I think it's hard to get into sometimes, but when I get smooth ways to do it, it comes out really good. But that is why I changed it, and because I thought the Bayley to belly was very gimmicky."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Bayley noted that her torn ACL injury during the pandemic was worse than people are aware of. You can read more about that here.
