Former NXT Women’s Champion Bayley was recently interviewed by Nashville Scene. You can see some highlights below, and the full interview at this link.

Her character:

“It’s cool because that is what I wanted to do. I wanted kids to feel like I felt when I attended wrestling shows. I wanted them to be involved and be excited and look forward to not just John Cena. It’s the big kid in me. I am just acting like myself when I was 10 years old. It’s so cute how passionate kids can be. And there is also a responsibility to the parents, who thank me for being a role model. I have to make sure I keep my head on.”

Her future:

“Well, I am excited to come to Nashville. It’s one of my favorite towns and the crowd was so amazing last time. And I want to join the WWE (main roster). I really wanna have a match with Natty. She’s been there and she’s been a women’s champion. And Nikki Bella after she comes back.”

Update On If WWE NXT ‘Takeover: Brooklyn’ Is Still Happening

The WWE NXT “Takeover: Brooklyn” event will still be happening, according to WWE officials. The event was suddenly pulled from Ticketmaster this week and was not listed on WWE’s website but still remained on the Barclays Center website.

Ticketmaster will be re-adding the event soon with new logos and details, according to F4Wonline.com. There was a lot of speculation after the event was pulled, mainly due to the June 8th event being billed as “Takeover: The End” and WWE brand extension rumors. F4Wonline.com adds that there were many NXT talents concerned when the event was pulled on Monday.

Takeover is scheduled for August 20th during SummerSlam weekend in Brooklyn.

There’s been a lot of speculation on if WWE NXT “Takeover: The End” refers to the end of the Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe feud or the end of the Takeover specials, or the brand as we know it.

Reader Dan Corey sent word that the NXT “Takeover: Brooklyn” event is no longer listed on Ticketmaster for the 2016 SummerSlam weekend in late August. Ticketmaster still has the pay-per-view listed and the post-SummerSlam RAW, both at the Barclays Center, but the NXT event is no longer available.

Triple H announced “The End” after the name “Revenge” was previously used at the NXT TV tapings. His announcement came just the same week as the WWE brand split news. We’ll keep you updated on the Takeover event.
