The recent addition of former adversaries Kairi Sane and Asuka to her faction has added complexity, showcasing Bayley’s willingness to sacrifice personal glory for the success of others. The teasing of betrayal within the faction hints at a narrative shift and a possible face-turn for The Role Model. This adds layers to her character and sets the stage for a classic hero’s journey. The Royal Rumble aligns seamlessly with the unpredictability of her current storyline.

Furthermore, Bayley’s teased conflict with Iyo Sky, the current Women’s Champion, adds personal stakes to her Royal Rumble journey. Securing a victory at the Royal Rumble would not only position The Role Model to headline WrestleMania but also pave the way for a showdown with her teammate. Needless to say, this opportunity would further solidify the 34-year-old’s enduring legacy in the realm of women’s wrestling.
