A few days back, Mercedes Moné, aka Sasha Banks, won the IWGP Women’s Champion in Japan. It was a magical moment for her and her legion of supporters. However, one individual from WWE, who is close to Moné, also didn’t miss the chance to witness the landmark match. The three-time women’s champion in WWE recently shared why she went all the way to Japan for the 31-year-old’s match.

Recently Bayley sat for an interview with Ariel Helwani on BT Sport. She shared being at the Battle in the Valley PPV to support her best friend. 

‘The Role Model’ said, “I went there on my own. There’s a few of us that flew out there just because that’s (just because) she’s been there for my big moments. As she has never been a part of the company and I’ve made my return and I’ve had my big matches, she’s there for me.”

Bayley added, “So of course, I want to be there for her. We have done so much together in WWE. So she means so much to me and so much to the wrestling world like I have to be there for this moment.”

Moné controversially left WWE while RAW was on the air. She and Naomi relinquished the Women’s tag titles and took a hiatus from wrestling.

Banks returned to wrestling, making her debut in NJPW earlier his year in January at WrestleKingdom 17. Surely, Bayley is happy for her and backing her for more success. Also, appearing at an NJPW show being a WWE superstar shows her support for Banks.

Nevertheless, The Role Model had to hide her intentions ahead of the show that she was present to support ‘The CEO’. Hence, she shared the story of how she made the trip to Japan come to fruition after RAW.

She said, “I literally flew out right after RAW for to Japan two hours before the show started and raced over there and met everybody there. And I sat in the crowd like kind of incognito. It was so magical to be there for her and I know how important it was for her.”
