Bayley says WWE's women's division is peaking, and competitors want to be a part of it.
Over the past year, WWE has signed some noteworthy names to the women's division, including Jade Cargill. The company has especially been active in recent months, as Stephanie Vaquer signed with WWE, and Giulia reportedly agreed to join after she wrapped up her commitments in Japan.
Speaking with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely at a media event head of WWE SummerSlam, WWE Women's Champion Bayley was asked about Stephanie Vaquer signing with WWE and Giulia being expected to join the company as well.
“I love that we have a division that women from all around the world want to come to and that they all want a piece of, and I feel like it was like that a lot when NXT, when we were in NXT and we were coming up to Raw and SmackDown, and then it got a little kind of [holds arm in a straight line] this for a little bit, and now it’s peaking again. I think that now we’re putting out the kind of competition that women want to be a part of and test themselves with. Obviously, there’s companies all over the world that they can have their choice of, and they chose us. I really need to step my game up, that’s really what it’s come to, and I’ve had that conversation with myself. There’s been a long time where I’m like, okay, well, I’m here, I’m a locker room leader, I’m a champion, but with these new girls coming in, they don’t care. They’re gonna take everything from me, and I have to fight for it," Bayley said.
Bayley lost the WWE Women's Championship to Nia Jax at WWE SummerSlam.
As of this writing, there is no word on when Stephanie Vaquer is set to join NXT.
Giulia is set to compete in her final match in Marigold on August 19, and she is then expected to join WWE. More information is available here.
