Summary

On this episode of The Nikki & Brie Show Nikki flies solo for a heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply inspiring conversation with her longtime friend and fellow WWE powerhouse, Bayley! From Grand Slam Champion to locker room mentor, Bayley opens up about the journey that’s shaped her—inside and outside of the ring. She talks growing up as a wrestling fan, finding her passion, and the defining moment that made her believe she could become a WWE Superstar. The two talk about evolution—both personal and professional. Bayley shares how the “hugger” years shaped her early identity, how confidence came later, and how her current role is about lifting others. She gets candid about what’s next: her first all-women’s wrestling seminar, plans for coaching, and why she’s passionate about bridging the gap between the indie scene and WWE. Oh—and yes, there are stories of cats, chaotic road trips, and some unforgettable wrestling memories. Nikki and Bayley play a hilarious round of “UnBaileyvable”, a rapid-fire game where Bayley reveals her celebrity crush and why Nick Miller from New Girl might be her soulmate. The episode closes with a powerful Inspiration Affirmation inspired by The Four Agreements and a reminder that—especially in this business—“don’t take anything personally” might just be the best advice of all.
