Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Bayley emerged victorious at WrestleMania 40 by defeating IYO SKY to claim the WWE Women’s Title amidst an electrifying atmosphere.
Rocking a fresh haircut and a new theme song, Bayley stepped onto the grand stage of WrestleMania 40 with determination to secure her fourth world championship. The crowd echoed chants of “Hey, Bayley! Ooh! Aah!” as she executed a winning elbow drop, reminiscent of the legendary “Macho Man” Randy Savage.
During the match, Bayley encountered a moment of vulnerability when she favored her right knee following a mistimed dive to the outside. SKY saw an opportunity and targeted Bayley’s leg throughout the intense battle. Surprisingly, SKY’s Damage CTRL comrades only accompanied her to the WrestleMania stage, not ringside, a decision that may haunt her as her reign as champion comes to an end.
After engaging in a series of diverse suplexes, Bayley found herself in SKY’s crossface hold multiple times, yet she managed to avoid submission. Demonstrating remarkable agility, SKY countered a Rose Plant attempt with a flip to the corner. However, Bayley swiftly regained control with a powerful clothesline before sealing the victory with a Savage-esque elbow drop and the picture-perfect Rose Plant.
The roar of the Philadelphia crowd reverberated as Bayley clinched the win and was crowned the new WWE Women’s Champion, marking a significant milestone in her career. The energy and passion of the fans added to the triumphant moment, solidifying Bayley’s status as a top contender in the world of wrestling.
As Bayley basked in the spotlight of victory, the WrestleMania 40 audience celebrated her achievement, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting chapter in the history of women’s wrestling.
