Bayley Challenges WWE Commentator To WrestleMania Match
By MARCO ROVERE
The rivalry between WWE star Bayley and announcer Michael Cole has been growing for years, with Bayley taking the "feud" to the next level as a guest on "The Bump." Bayley answered a fan's question about a potential match with her rival by saying she'd love a match with Cole, revealing what the WWE announcer says to her every time they meet backstage.
"He comes up to me every single time I see him and says, 'When are we going to have our match ... I'm undefeated.' And I'm like dude, I have a lot to do but there will come a day where I can finally whoop him and maybe take his job," Bayley said. Bayley joked that she wanted the match with Cole at next year's WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia.
Bayley started the feud during WWE's pandemic era. She has taken several shots at Cole by shaving the WWE announcer's name into the back of her head, asking Santa to give Cole a terrible Christmas, celebrating the departure of his "SmackDown" commentary partner, and agreeing with Vince McMahon's take on Cole being a "horrible human being."
