Bayley has admitted that her move to the blue brand was not an easy one and left her feeling "a little insecure".
The female superstar has had to continue her act without tag partner and friend Sasha Banks since WrestleMania. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, she found herself shipped from Raw as part of the Superstar Shakeup that followed the big event.
This move marked the beginning of Bayley's first stint on SmackDown and she claims it took some getting used to after leaving all of her friends behind.
“I love this business so much, too much, it drives me crazy," she said in one of WWE's Day Of videos while the camera followed her backstage at Stomping Grounds.
"When I moved to SmackDown, I felt very alone. Like, I left my friends on Raw and I’d never been on SmackDown before so I felt a little insecure. And then I had to snap out of it. It was like ‘well, what do you think you’re gonna do here? If you sit here and you feel sad or you feel scared you’re just gonna get walked all over.’ So I instantly had to change my mindset.
"I instantly had to change the gears in my head, and just had to freaking go. I had to not stop, I had to not look back. Don’t think about Raw, do not think about the people you’re leaving behind, and don’t think about anything else. Just think about yourself for a change and go. That’s what I’ve been riding off and Money in the Bank kind of really sealed the deal. Like, ‘okay, you can trust yourself. Believe in yourself, because good things happen.’”
Of course, Bayley has no regrets. She's had quite the successful run since her move from Raw, having won the women's Money in the Bank and the SmackDown Women's title the same night. Change is good sometimes.
