Bayley is keeping it real about her finishing moveand shes not offended if youre not a fan.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the WWE Womens Champion opened up about The Rose Plant, her current finisher thats drawn a mixed reaction from fans. Its a throwback to her indie daysan arm-trap headlock driver she used before signing with WWEbut not everyones loving the move now that its back on TV. Including, at times, Bayley herself.
Everyone hates my finish, huh? Sorry guys, she said. It was a finish that I did on the indies.
When asked why she thinks it hasnt clicked with fans, Bayley didnt hold back: I dont know. The setup is really hard. Sometimes Im like trying to figure out where to put it, or how to get into it. Im like, Man, this is annoying. This move sucks.
Still, she defended the moves potential when executed smoothly. I think its hard to get into sometimes, but when I get smooth ways to do it, it comes out really good.
As for why she moved away from her original WWE finisher, the Bayley-to-Belly? That one, she said, just didnt fit her anymore. I thought the Bayley-to-Belly was very gimmicky, she admitted.
Bayleys honesty is a breath of fresh air in a world where most finishers are treated as untouchable. And whether you love it or hate it, The Rose Plant might just be here to stayat least until she finds something that doesnt, in her words, suck.
