Veteran Suggests WWE Needs Major Changes for Bayley and Women’s Championship
Bayley is one of the prominent ladies of the WWE Women’s Division whose career has been filled with many ups and downs. While she is immensely talented and has done a lot for the WWE, one wrestling veteran has recently stated that some major changes need to happen when it comes to Bayley and the Women’s Championship scene. This article goes over Bayley’s career, the current state of the Women’s Championship, the veteran’s suggestions, and what it could mean for the future of WWE’s Women’s Division.
Human Interest: Bayley’s storied
An Era of Hugging
Bayley is actually named Pamela Martinez, who began in NXT and quickly became a fan favorite under the persona of “the Hugger.” The underdog story and infectious enthusiasm captured the hearts of the fans, leading to a memorable championship run with the NXT Women’s Championship. Her matches with Sasha Banks, especially their fight at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, are rated among the all-time best matches in the history of WWE.
The Shift to the Main Roster
Bayley’s main roster run was similar, with capturing the title of Raw Women’s Champion and later, also that of SmackDown Women’s Champion, achieving the title of one of the top names in the WWE women’s division. Her character evolution from the lovable underdog to a very nuanced and complex persona showcased her versatility and depth as a performer.
Heel Turn Role Model
It would not be until 2019 that Bayley would find her calling, running as a top heel with the “Role Model.” Rejuvenation does wonders, as it would help her have a record-setting 380-day run with the SmackDown Women’s Championship. She rekindled her status through some awesome feuds with Sasha Banks, Bianca Belair, and one or two other top female stars of the business who clearly showed she is one of the best that WWE has.
State of Current Women’s Championship
Key Players and Teams
WWE has been relying on the women’s division to be built around Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair. These Superstars could be touted as holding both the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championships in the past few years and have been a part of major matches and storylines. However, the division has come under blame for not being deep and having similar booking.
Challenges Facing the Department
Despite the fact that there is a lot of talented women in the company, the problem is inconsistency in storytelling, limited screen time, and mismanagement of talent. The Women’s Tag Team Championships, in particular, have suffered from lackluster booking and frequent title changes, undermining their prestige.
Bayley’s Position
Bayley has been a key player in the women’s division, but as of late, is in a very rough spot. More often than not, injuries and the unevenness of creative have affected her status from losing inactivity and being unworthy. So no one is exactly sure where she stands in the title picture, prompting questions of what needs to be done.
The Suggestions of this Veteran
Reformation of Bayley’s Character
It left the veteran feeling that WWE has another chance to re-invent the Bayley character and bring the “lightning” back into the Bayley career. What worked very well as the “Role Model” character is in need, quite possibly, of a reboot to something newer and much more interesting. This could include a face turn, a new persona altogether, or exploring her existing character features better.
Body storytelling
Another big point he suggested was the importance of long-term storytelling in the women’s division: features of compelling and multi-layered stories for headliners such as Bayley. That would work to build further relatability and invest in the performers more. The very suggestion is the development of long-term rivalries and story arcs, lifting the division into meaningful matches that actually do something for them.
Diverse Feuds and Matchups
The veteran further highlights deep feuds and opponents’ pools as an essential feature. Given the fact that WWE has one of the deepest women’s rosters standings, the company must draw on that strength by developing new and exciting feuds and staying away from alpha match pairings, repeated over and over again. Relying always on new and different faces and to generate diversified storylines to extend the talent of its women, WWE will be on the road to being able to show the exact capability.
Enhancing the Women’s Tag Team Division
And the most important stage of improvement would be the Women’s Tag Team Division itself. He opined in raising the level of the tag titles, numerous credible teams, and consistent booking. Bayley could either reform a new team or, given her star power and experience, just be best in replenishing the tag team scene with either reforming a new team or simply mentoring younger talents.
Bringing Bayley into Big Storylines
Grounding Bayley in top-tier women’s title stories breathes life into her character and division. Vying for a title or engaging in a personal rivalry, high-stakes matches can position Bayley in a top-tier storyline to maximize her potential and contribute to compelling television.

This can range from going back to the “Hugger” roots, where she could become some fast-aggressive or edgy character, or an altogether new gimmick. All this goes to keeping her character in flux and relevant for taking on all new storylines and opponents.
Cat Fight
Bayley just might take upon herself high-profile feuds with likes of Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and even Bianca Belair. Probably this can be derived just a build-up from personal animosities or a pursuit of championships, or any other interesting type of stories. High stakes in matches and emotionally charged storylines can raise the stock of Bayley and all her opponents.
Mentorship Role
With her experience level of success and with the WWE being able to step into a mentorship role in the women’s division — aligning with the younger talents, guiding, and helping elevate the next generation of female competitors — it’s also very helpful to add more to her character and bring more interesting dynamics to the screen.

It gives opportunities to various wrestlers to shine and brings new matchups constantly so the audience doesn’t get sick of anything.
Unified Storylines
By the same token, the crafting of storytelling elements interwoven across both major titles and the different superstars can be useful in wanting to make the women’s division deep and intriguing to follow. An example would be stories interwoven between championships, such as the Raw and SmackDown titles, or even including Women’s Tag Team Championships—stories involved within these divisions dealing within high stakes and making up for compelling television.
WWE needs to continue promoting new talent; with each gain in their women’s division, sufficient time should be given to the younger wrestlers to illustrate respective storylines strongly. This will also be helpful for the company to be able to build new stars who can easily be part of it in the long run. Moreover, newer matches will also come from the same division, hence keeping the division fresh and dynamic.
