Bayley just set out her plans to get Mercedes Monay back in WWE, so we’ll see what she
had to say.
We’ll also check out what’s going on with Naomi, original plans for Alexa Bliss, and
more
Let’s start things off with some interesting notes from Wrestlemania week
The week of Wrestlemania is always full of so many different events, festivals, parties,
and other things of that nature
Some of these events even have no direct connection or affiliation with WWE at all, such as Waa-lay
Mania
Waa-lay is an award winning artist and lifetime fan of pro wrestling
He even made several on-screen appearances and performances for WWE
And even over the last few years, he’s been hosting his own mini event during Wrestlemania
week
It’s an entire festival of music, talking, and of course appearances from plenty of pro
wrestlers themselves
The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and Naomi were all present for the 2023 Waa-lay Mania
There were several great moments from their appearances that went viral, but one of the
biggest moments of the night was when Naomi briefly addressed the live crowd
She quickly jumped on the mic to say that she loves and appreciates everyone and how
she’s not done yet
She handed the mic back over to the DJ and didn’t really elaborate anymore after that
AEW TBS Championship, Jade Cargill, was also in attendance and on stage for Waa-lay Mania
And as most fans know, Naomi and Jade are also close friends, so they shared some time
on stage together during the event and that also made fans lose their minds with speculation
and ideas
There was another clip of Naomi even tapping the TBS title that Jade Cargill had on her
shoulders and the fans continued to go crazy with speculation
So there’s not much solid news out there about where Naomi could end up at
There was some rumors that she allegedly had shoulder surgery done several months back
and how that really delayed her entire return to the ring as well
But apparently, she fully recovered from whatever that procedure was and for the first time
in a long time, she spoke publicly about her wrestling future and how she’s not done
yet at all
So to quickly recap the latest news for Naomi…
she recently filed for the rights to the stage name of ‘Trinity Starr’, she confirmed
that she’s not under contract with WWE in any way, and now she reassures everyone that
she’s not done in the ring
So we’ll have to wait and see what’s next for Naomi and if she could even maybe find
herself in the ring with Jade Cargill one day down the line
—————————————
The road to Wrestlemania 39 was a special treat for Bayley
Not only did she get to work with another member of the four horsewomen at Wrestlemania,
she also got the chance to stand in the ring with Trish Stratus and Lita, two WWE legends
and women that she absolutely idolized growing up
Bayley recently appeared on the Masked Man Show and she talked about all of her future
Wrestlemania Dream matches, she had this to say, quote:
"One of my dream 'Mania matches was against Lita and I’m going to get to do that this
week so, a singles match with Mercedes at 'Mania [has] always been the dream and I think
if I keep doing good here, if I keep making things better, making some changes that needs
to be changed and make this match special — it can show her we could do that and we
could do that at 'Mania.
I just want her to see that things are good.
Just one more time.
I’ll wait for you.
You wanna wait a few years?
That’s fine, I’ll wait for you.”
End quote
So working with Trish Stratus and Lita at Wrestlemania was something that Bayley checked
off her list, but it looks like she has an even bigger goal she’s working on, and that’s
the goal of getting Mercedes to return to WWE
No one knows the real story of why Mercedes and Naomi walked out, but fans speculate that
it had something to do with them not really enjoying how the women’s division gets treated
by WWE
So Bayley is thinking that it’s her responsibility to create a lot of change in the WWE women’s
division in order to show Mercedes that things are getting better and hopefully convince
her to come back to WWE
Not only does Bayley want Mercedes back on the road with her in WWE, Bayley also wants
that singles match with her at Wrestlemania
If you were watching NXT back in 2015-2016, you can no doubt remember the all-time historic
matches that Bayley and Mercedes had together in NXT
Matches like NXT Takeover Brooklyn, where they were stealing the show and putting on
these legendary matches when they both in their early 20s and still pretty new to WWE
at the time
So you can only imagine how amazing it would be to put the both of them in the ring together
over a decade later with all of the knowledge and experience they’ve learned along the
way, it would be just as legendary as their first few matches
Bayley and Mercedes did have an amazing program with each other in 2020, but of course the
biggest bummer and downside to that program was that no fans were in attendance for that
entire storyline, so that was the unfortunate part there
But even if we get Bayley versus Mercedes down the line at Wrestlemania in a few years,
it would still be just as iconic and the fans will still be hyped up for it
And we just went over how Mercedes said during a recent interview that she wasn’t done
with Bayley and still had plans to have more matches with her in the future, so Bayley
is also thinking the same thing
So who knows when and where those matches can end up taking place at, but it looks like
both Bayley and Mercedes are interested in facing each other and having more matches
somewhere down the line
————————————
It’s most definitely clear that things didn’t go down the original way for Bray Wyatt, Uncle
Howdy, and Alexa Bliss on the road to Wrestlemania
Bray Wyatt was supposed to face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania, but Lesnar respectively declined
the match
So then it was changed to Bray Wyatt versus Bobby Lashley
We saw a great episode of The Firefly Funhouse that hinted at several things from Alexa’s
return, to Uncle Howdy’s true origins, to someone being trapped inside the funhouse,
to Bray Wyatt about to tell us about a secret he was holding onto
So it looked like all the parts of Bray’s story was about to take off but then he goes
down with the illness and all that momentum and direction was unfortunately lost
But according to the Wrestling Observer, the original Wrestlemania plans dating back to
several months ago, was for Alexa Bliss to get involved and have a big moment with Bray
Wyatt and Uncle Howdy at Wrestlemania
It’s unknown if that would’ve been Alexa’s first big reunion moment with Bray Wyatt,
or if she would’ve already had the reunion with him prior to Wrestlemania 39 in this
original timeline, but it looks like the three of them were originally set up for a big moment
at Wrestlemania 39
And it does seem like it would’ve been the perfect spot because that was the last place
that Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss saw each other at
You had that big moment of Alexa Bliss turning on Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 37, and they
both haven’t even been featured at Wrestlemania ever since
Bray Wyatt was not signed to WWE during Wrestlemania 38, and Alexa Bliss was not at Wrestlemania
38 because she was on a hiatus during the time
So their last appearance together and their most recent overall Wrestlemania appearance
both took place at Wrestlemania 37
So it would’ve been another great full circle moment if their reunion took place on the
Wrestlemania stage just two years later
We’ll have to see if the plans will still be on for Bray, Alexa, and Howdy in the future
