WWE News: Bayley reveals a shocking new career path she's set to pursue

What's the story?

Bayley has been pursuing a career in the squared circle ever since she was 11 years old, but the former Raw Women's Champion now looks to be heading back to school to continue the education that she left in order to follow her wrestling dreams.

In case you didn't know...

Bayley's wrestling career reached its peak when she was part of the NXT brand a few years ago, but her promotion to the main roster has seen all of the flaws within her character magnified and it's left the former Champion in an unfamiliar position.

Bayley has been pushing her wrestling dream forward ever since she was 11 years old and hasn't had time in her life for anything else, but there were other dreams that the former Raw Women's Champion wanted to pursue before she was bitten by the wrestling bug.

The heart of the matter

Bayley hasn't been part of many high profile storylines over the past year as fans have wondered whether or not Bayley's character would be changed in the near future since her feud with Sasha Banks seems as though it's moving forward at quite a slow pace.

During a recent media interaction at the Sandton Sun Hotel in Johannesburg, Bayley spoke to JoySports where she revealed that she has some future plans outside of the ring.

“I devoted my time to wrestling and honestly kind of took my mind away from everything including school. I didn’t finish all my classes and just focused on training and work. I seriously want to finish school. It is a very important thing for me. I was studying psychology and want to specialize in an area that can make me a counselor for middle schools.

“The counseling worked out well for me as a child and at that point, I thought it would be a good area to go into. The WWE has special classes and stuff to help us so I will take advantage of it. One cannot be lazy you know.”

Wrestling isn't a career that has a lengthy shelf life and it appears that Bayley is already thinking about her future after her stint with WWE comes to an end.

What's next?

Bayley's feud with Sasha Banks looks to be moving forward, but it is unclear when it will finally reach its peak.

Author's take

Bayley's a smart superstar and she isn't being used the way that she would have wanted on WWE TV currently. The company is well known for dismissing talent at a regular rate, so it's a good plan for Bayley to have a backup just in case her wrestling career ends up being much shorter than she expected.
