It isn’t easy to aggravate Bayley, but when one of the kindest WWE Superstars decides she’s had enough, everyone else had better watch out.
In a couple of weeks at the WWE Royal Rumble Pay Per View in Phoenix, Arizona, Sasha Banks will take on Ronda Rousey in a Raw Women’s Championship match that will surely have the entire wrestling world talking. Not only could Banks and Rousey easily deliver a “Match of the Year” caliber contest, but the fallout from the match could be just as significant.
After beating up Rousey, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch both lost an opportunity at the SmackDown Women’s Championship because of Ronda’s actions in the main event of TLC. Since three of the four horsewomen of WWE have a reason to dislike Rousey ahead of this match – not to mention their own motivation for pursuing a WrestleMania main event match against her – there’s a high chance we see a build to a Four Horsewomen vs. Four Horsewomen feud.
And now, even Bayley, who rarely gets upset on social media or in general, is fed up with the trash talk that Shayna Baszler, Ronda Rousey, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir have been sending on Twitter.
Shayna quoted a WWE account tweet about how the Four Horsewomen of WWE changed the game in NXT, asserting that while Banks, Bayley, Becky, and Charlotte did revolutionize the industry, they aren’t an actual team.
We have never argued the fact they made history. But the 4 Horsemen weren’t just 4 random history making wrestlers. WE ARE AN ACTUAL TEAM. (& we had it 1st) #fourhorsewomen #4HW https://t.co/dLwxFhzg40

And Bayley just wasn’t having any of it.
If you’re so confident in your 4 then why do you feel the need to defend yourselves so much, just shut up already.

Though Banks and Rousey seem to have mutual respect as competitors, they’ve been throwing plenty of insults at each other both on social media and elsewhere. So it’s no surprise to see that Bayley is helping Sasha and her fellow Four Horsewomen out against Shayna and Co., who have been dubbed by diehard WWE fans as the “Faux Horsewomen” (even though, as Shayna notes, they used the Four Horsemen-inspired moniker first).
This rivalry has a chance to take 2019 by storm, and it’s already off to an entertaining start on social media here in January. I mean, whenever Bayley starts to get involved in the trash-talking, you know something’s about to pop off. Ronda had better watch out, too, because let’s just say that she doesn’t want the “You ain’t s**t!” Bayley to jump at her on Raw next week!
