Bayley is placing high expectations on her 2024. 

It was nearly two years ago that the group now known as Damage CTRL was formed at WWE SummerSlam. Present day, the group consists of Bayley, WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY, Kairi Sane, Asuka and Dakota Kai. 

On WWE programming, Bayley is billed as the ‘leader’ of the group and as she was speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, she expressed that Damage CTRL has worked out for all parties involved and they have more work to do.

Damage CTRL, it’s worked out for the best for all of us. And there is still more we can do together.

Looking at the possibilities that could come to fruition this year, Bayley feels 2024 is going to be one that defines her career, who she is and what she’s brought to the wrestling business. 

All my experience, especially after going through the (ACL) injury, the pressure of having new girls rely on you, that’s a lot of pressure, but it made me feel ready for everything. This year is going to be the one that defines my career. It will define who I am and what I’ve brought to the wrestling industry.

Bayley is taking part in the upcoming women’s Royal Rumble. In addition to her, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair have been announced for the match.
