While speaking to The Detroit News, Bayley talked about that day in Las Vegas when she cut her ponytail off and what it meant.

“I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what I needed to do. But the actual snip of the ponytail, I was a little in shock. My hair was the longest I’ve ever had it, and I’ve had that freakin’ ponytail for seven years. The last time my hair was this short, I was 10 years old.”

Bayley said this it felt like her character become a heel was something she needed and that it was time for a change.

“Character-wise and personally, mostly personally, it was much needed. I really go off my emotions or what I’m passionate about at the time, and there came a point where I was like, ‘I don’t even know what I’m fighting for anymore.’ That’s when it hit me, and I was like, something needs to change. And that was it.”

Bayley closes out the interview talking about how no matter what she is, babyface or heel, that she is committed to putting on a good show. Over the last few weeks, Bayley along with Sasha Banks has been feuding with Dana Brooke and Lacey Evans on Smackdown.
