Bayley Sends Emotional Message To Two WWE NXT Stars: A Historic Championship Clash Awaits
As the excitement builds for the WWE NXT Women’s Championship defense at the highly anticipated NXT New Year’s Evil event, scheduled for January 7, 2025, fans are buzzing with curiosity. This year, the stakes are higher than ever as the women’s Iron Survivor Challenge winner Giulia prepares to challenge the reigning champion Roxanne Perez. The buzz surrounding this championship match is palpable, and it has captured the attention of former champions, including Bayley, who has shared a heartfelt message about the upcoming showdown.
A Hype Video that Resonates
Recently, WWE released a captivating hype package highlighting the rich history of the NXT Women’s Championship. This video not only featured thrilling moments from past title matches but also showcased legendary champions, igniting nostalgia and excitement among fans. Among those champions, former titleholder Mandy Rose reacted to her appearance on social media, expressing her pride in being part of such a prestigious lineage.
But it was Bayley’s emotional response that truly resonated. In a heartfelt tweet, she expressed her awe and pride in the championship’s evolution. “Wow. I wasn’t ready for this🥹,” she shared. “Incredible display of this historic championship. And believe me, from someone who stood by the cameras as the first ever was crowned, it makes me proud to see where the division is now! Excited for you, @roxanne_wwe, @giulia0221g #WWENXT.”
This message not only underscores Bayley’s deep connection to the NXT Women’s Championship but also highlights the journey the division has taken over the years. As one of the trailblazers of women’s wrestling in WWE, Bayley’s words carry weight, reminding fans of the hard-fought battles and sacrifices made by women wrestlers to pave the way for the current stars.
The Legacy of the NXT Women’s Championship
To fully appreciate the significance of the upcoming match, it’s essential to understand the legacy of the NXT Women’s Championship. Since its inception, this title has been a symbol of excellence and empowerment in women’s wrestling. The inaugural champion, Paige (now known as Saraya in AEW), set the standard by defeating Emma in a tournament final, capturing the hearts of fans and elevating the division to new heights.
Bayley herself made history in August 2015 when she defeated Sasha Banks at NXT TakeOver Brooklyn, becoming the fourth competitor to hold the championship. This match is often hailed as one of the greatest women’s matches in WWE history, further solidifying Bayley’s place in the annals of wrestling lore. Today, Roxanne Perez stands as one of only three wrestlers to have held the title twice, alongside icons Charlotte Flair and Shayna Baszler. Each reign tells a story of determination, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
An Unfolding Storyline: Giulia vs. Roxanne Perez
As NXT New Year’s Evil approaches, the storyline surrounding Giulia and Roxanne Perez is increasingly compelling. Giulia, having emerged victorious in the grueling Iron Survivor Challenge, is not just a contender; she is a force to be reckoned with. The anticipation of her clash with Roxanne Perez has left fans buzzing with speculation and excitement.
Roxanne, the current champion, is no stranger to pressure. Her journey to the top has been marked by fierce competition and nail-biting encounters. As she prepares to defend her title, fans are left wondering: will she continue her reign, or will Giulia dethrone her and take the championship to new heights? The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the buildup to this match promises to be one of the most thrilling in recent NXT history.
