STAMFORD, Conn. — In a recent episode of WWE Playback, Bayley recounted her exhilarating win in the 2024 women’s Royal Rumble match, which took place in January. This highlight was shared just before the 2025 Elimination Chamber event.

Bayley, known for her captivating performances, expressed her astonishment at winning the Rumble. “That was the craziest feeling.

We just had such a good story going into this.”
