Hug-O-Mania

[Dotty]

Both Renee Young and Bayley were sat in a room, waiting for the director in front of them gave the cue for the scheduled interview to begin. Young was wearing a casual blouse and pair of jeans, a slide in her hair helped keep the strands from falling into her face. It had been a long day of interviews for EBWF.com and by now she was no longer looking her perfectly presented self. However she had a smile on her face that did not seem to show the stressful day she was having. Renee’s smile was clearly caused by her current interview subject Bayley. The likeable Diva was wearing a purple ‘I’m a Hugger’ t-shirt, black leggings and her hair in the trademark side pony tail. The massive grin on her face was obviously infectious as finally the signal was given for the interview to start.

Renee Young - Tonight I’m joined by one of the most likeable divas around at the moment. Bayley! How are you doing?

Bayley - Hey Renee, I’m fantastic thank you. The whole atmosphere of being here is amazing isn’t it?

Once again Bayley’s enthusiasm was rubbing off on Renee who could not help but excitedly nod her head in agreement.

Renee Young - You’re right, it’s like nothing else in the EBWF, or the world for that matter. Have you been enjoying the festivities?

Bayley - I can’t get enough of it! There’s nothing I love more than getting to spend time with fans and everything going on around Wrestlemania I just can’t get enough of it! They are literally dragging me off at the meet and greets!

Renee Young - You seem to have been a big hit with everyone as well, all I’ve heard about is how friendly Bayley is and the cues to meet you seem to be the longest. Everyone I speak to, the only person they want to meet is you!

Bayley squirmed in her seat, slightly self conscious at the glowing compliment.

Bayley - Haha, that means alot to me. We’re officially changing 2016 from Wrestlemania to Hug-O-Mania! Haha! I dreamt of this moment growing up and I’m taking advantage of everything that comes with it! You know ten years ago I went to Wrestlemania 5 and saw Torrie Wilson win the Diva’s title and that’s the moment I realised that’s what I wanted to do one day!

Renee Young - Well you’ve got a good chance of making that dream come true, as you’re in a number one contenders match against Sasha Banks, Natalya and Velvet Sky, how are you feeling about that.

Thinking for a second Bayley paused before answering.

Bayley - Excited, nervous, happy, pretty much every emotion you could possibly imagine Renee! I mean the grandest stage of them all and little old me will be stepping out in front of all of those fans, it’s so cliche, but it’s a dream come true.

Renee Young - But how do the other three Diva’s fit into that dream?

Bayley - The dream always ends with my arms raised in victory and as much as I respect the three other ladies in the match I’m not letting them getting in the way of ruining my fantasy!! There’s no denying all three of them have a strong case for being number one contender for that title, but I gotta say for me it’s written in the stars.

Renee Young - What is your motivation going into the match? What is going to get you to go that step further than Sasha, Natalya and Velvet?

Bayley - You know what Renee, it’ll be looking out to the thousands in attendance and seeing another 16 year old me watching and being inspired. 10 years ago it was Torrie Wilson who was inspiring me, and knowing I’ve got that chance to influence a young womans life in such a positive way it’s what will get me to dig down that bit deeper than anyone else in that match. I know how a life can be changed at Wrestlemania and being able to make that happen is more than enough motivation for me.

Renee Young - It’s an amazing story Bayley. Who do you think is the biggest threat in the match?

Tilting her head to one side Bayley adjusted her ponytail and a sweatband on her wrist.

Bayley - All three of them in truth. I’d be a fool if I stepped in that ring and underestimated any of them. Sasha Banks is such a phenomenal talent. She trash talks well, but she can sure back it up in the ring! Velvet is another one who has been here and done it for so long in the EBWF. You don’t get to be a top Diva in the biggest company in the world without being able to throw it down when it matters. And what can I say about Natalya!? Have you seen the pics on social media, she can lift more weight than about 90% of the guys in the locker room! She’s forgotten more moves than about 90% of the locker room even know as well! So all three women bring something amazing to the match. It’s our chance to create a real special moment in the Divas division. But I’m not there to let the occasion get the better of me. I’ve been about taking chances and seizing the moment since I came to the EBWF and Wrestlemania won’t be any different. I owe it to every single one of those fans that have cued for hours just to meet me, just for a hug. If they all support and believe in me so much how can I ever doubt myself!? It’s time for Hug-O-Mania and I’m not going to let them all down. Jeeeez is that the time!? Renee I’m sooooo sorry but I’ve got another meet and greet in 5 minutes and I’m not missing a second of that!!

Bayley jumped to her feet, and Renee did the same instinctively. Without a chance to wrap the interview up Bayley hugged Young and quickly flew out of the door.
