WWE Grand Slam Champion Bayley has unveiled her long-term vision for life after her in-ring career, confirming plans to open a wrestling school focused on developing the next generation of female talent.
During an appearance on The Nikki & Brie Show released Monday, Bayley revealed she will host a free three-day seminar from December 4-6 in Orlando, Florida, as her first step toward eventually opening her own wrestling school. The seminar is exclusively for experienced female wrestlers, with travel and accommodations covered for those selected to attend.
I\'ve always pictured myself continuing on with wrestling and wanting to open a school someday,\" Bayley told Nikki Bella. \"I\'ll be running a seminar next month to kind of wet my feet in that stuff.
The initiative reflects Bayley\'s commitment to addressing what she sees as a critical need in women\'s wrestling. She emphasized her desire to close the gap between independent female wrestlers and those signed to major promotions like WWE, AEW, and TNA. \"I don\'t want there to be this huge gap,\" she explained, noting that the industry relies on independent talent to thrive.
Bayley plans to expand the seminar to other locations, potentially traveling to places like Australia to make training more accessible. The December seminar will feature what she described as \"the best of the best\" to help mentor attendees.
Known for her mentoring role in WWE\'s locker room throughout her active career, Bayley\'s transition to full-time coaching would be a natural evolution for the multi-time Women\'s Champion. The Role Model recently reflected on her historic Iron Woman match with Sasha Banks that helped pave the way for women\'s wrestling a decade ago.
