On October 11, 2019, Bayley put an end to the Bayley Buddies, slaughtering them with a makeshift axe.
The killing of the Bayley Buddies signified a new start for Bayley, who had used the Bayley Buddies as part of her entrances for years in WWE and NXT.
Speaking on the Rob Brown Show, Bayley looked back on the segment.
"There was a moment, I knew it was going to be best for me in the long run, but there really was a moment before I went out where I was like, 'Oh my God.' Not in the sense of 'am I making the right decision?' But in the sense of, 'This is the last time I'm going to come out to this song and this is the last time I will have this entrance.' It was bittersweet and sad to see them go type thing, but I needed to move on and break that relationship off. It was time," she said.
Asked what she was wielding in her hand, Bayley said, "It was the weirdest thing, and they ended up putting it in one of my Mattel action figures, which I thought was hilarious. They had to customize an axe for me. It was an axe head, the wooden part, and then they somehow welded some blades on there. I don't know why they didn't give me a real axe, maybe they were worried about me using it. It was the strangest thing. The first time I practiced it, swinging it around, the blade flew off, so it was very dangerous."
RIP Bayley Buddies.
Bayley is currently part of the WWE SmackDown roster.
