Punk continued, “She won the Rumble, don’t forget it. Put some respect on her name.” Fans were excited to see Bayley break away from Damage CTRL and turn ace. Despite Bayley’s heel run being successful, WWE has been planting cracks in the group, with every member turning against their former leader. The feeling goes both ways with Bayley accessing her fangirl side when the Second City Saint returned to the promotion in November.

While talking to the New York Post, Bayley said, “I ran into Gorilla [position] to go say hi to him, and he was so happy.” This refers to when CM Punk returned at WWE Survivor Series WarGames after the final match ended. Despite enduring a problematic past with AEW due to some unsavory actions, The Second City Saint has imparted positive vibes to an experienced WWE locker room.
