It's hard to explain. I think I just... I guess it's just time to evolve. Because I've been doing what I've been doing for the past four years but you always need to evolve, and I plan on doing this for a really long time. So I know it needs to go in just, like, different directions, maybe a different attitude. I guess I'm coming off my Extreme Rules match with Alexa Bliss where I didn't use the kendo stick on her, and it's time for me to evolve and kind of see where else, different avenues I can go as my character, and just try to reach different points and take that next step as Bayley. I don't know, I kind of feel like I'm in between that right now. I'm still trying to stay who I was and what got me to the dance, that's what I was always told."
Austin asks a great follow up question, wondering what it is making her feel like this at this time, whether it's based on crowd response or if it's just getting monotonous:
"Yeah, it might be a little bit of both just from the, yeah, crowd response but I also don't want to completely change who I am just because certainly people may not like who I am.
...
"I don't even know if it's just a change of look. Like how we were saying Undertaker just came out as The American Badass, completely different from what he was doing. It's not necessarily turning from a good guy to a bad guy or anything. Even if it was as simple as taking my ponytail out and just having hair down, or cutting my hair, or having different gear; just something a little different I think I need. That's just to change my look just to evolve a little bit. And maybe change a little bit of things in the ring.
"Okay, so this is gonna sound like I'm a loser too. One time I was talking to Seth about... it was from when he... cause he was a heel for a long time then he turned baby, and I was watching his matches -- I think it was when I just got on the road -- and he was just so good at being a babyface already, and he had just been a heel. I asked him 'how did you, I know you've been doing it for a while already, but how did you just make it seem so easy, the switch and the transition? Because it's so different.' And he was like 'oh, I just try to be like Stone Cold. Just, I don't know, just be a badass. Just kick ass.' I think I need a little bit of that in the ring. And we've talked about that too, about being aggressive, so I don't know, maybe a combination of more aggression and changing my look a little bit could be cool. That's just kind of how I'm feeling."
