Bayley Helped To Mentor Kit Wilson Early In WWE Career

Kit Wilson has revealed that Bayley helped nurture him during the early days of his WWE NXT career, after his move to the United States.

Signed to a WWE contract in January 2020,Kit Wilson & Elton of Prince Pretty Deadly would compete in NXT UK, going on to hold the United Kingdom brand’s Tag Team Championship.

A move to the United States in 2022 would see the pair repeat their title success, becoming two-time NXT Tag Team Champions before being drafted to the main roster the following year.

Wilson recently revealed the support he received from Bayley following his move to the United States during an appearance on 99.7 NOW with Big Reid, saying:

“Just as a shout-out to her, she is a fantastic, dare I say, friend and mentor of mine.

“When I first moved to America, we got some time together, and she helped nurture me and grow, so I’ve got nothing but love for the West Coast girl herself.”

Wilson has previously revealed that Pretty Deadly initially met Bayley at the WWE Performance Center, saying that was the start of how they became close.

The Enduring Appeal Of Bayley

First signing with WWE back in December 2012, Bayley has seen and done it all across brands. The first-ever WWE Women’s Grand Slam Champion, having held all the respective titles in NXT, Raw and SmackDown, along with the Women’s Tag Team Championship, Bayley was also the first-ever Women’s Triple Crown Champion.

Night 1 of WrestleMania 42 will see Bayley once again team with Lyra Valkyria in the Fatal Four-Way WWE Women’s Tag Team Match, with The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax & Lash Legend) also defending against Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, and The Bella Twins.

Recently, Bayley has further demonstrated her interest in shaping the future of professional wrestling, running the first of her Lodestone training camps, aimed at women wrestlers. Maxxine Dupri shared an insight into that experience, which saw John Cena share his knowledge, too.

With many stars having commented on Bayley’s support, both within and beyond WWE, it’s clear why she has the respect that she does among her peers and contemporaries alike.
