WWE’s own Bayley is stepping onto a different kind of stage this month, as she’s set to participate in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game. The announcement came earlier today via the NBA’s X account, confirming that the “Role Model” will be part of Team Rice, coached by NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice and internet star Khaby Lame. They’ll be facing off against Team Bonds, led by baseball legend Barry Bonds and rapper 2 Chainz.
Bayley’s squad will include some notable names, such as former NBA star Matt Barnes, country singers Walker Hayes and Shaboozey, comedian Druski, and NFL great Terrell Owens. Interestingly, a lot of the participants have ties to the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area, where the NBA All-Star Weekend is set to take place. That includes Bayley herself, who hails from San Jose, California.
This marks a first-time appearance for Bayley in the NBA’s Celebrity Game, making her just the second WWE star to play in the event. The first? The Miz, who turned heads with an incredible half-court buzzer-beater in 2023. Whether Bayley will deliver a highlight-reel moment of her own remains to be seen, but if her in-ring career has proven anything, it’s that she knows how to shine under pressure.
Of course, Bayley won’t have much time to celebrate (or recover) after the game. The very next night, she’s set to be in Washington, D.C., for NXT Vengeance Day, where she and Roxanne Perez will challenge Giulia for the NXT Women’s Championship. That means a cross-country travel sprint for the former Women’s Champion, but Bayley has never been one to back down from a challenge—whether it’s on the court or in the squared circle.
Stay tuned to see if Bayley makes her mark on NBA All-Star Weekend, and don’t forget to catch NXT Vengeance Day the following night for what could be a major moment in her career.
