#2 Corey Graves accidentally pranked Bayley during WWE Royal Rumble 2021

Bayley certainly missed Michael Cole at the event

As a part of her hilarious antics, Bayley got WWE commentator Michal Cole’s surname shaved into the back her head. As it turns out, it was Corey Graves’ idea, and they both thought that it would be funny if Bayley showed that to Cole during the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Unfortunately for Bayley, Michael Cole did not call the action during that match, and yet, Bayley had to spend the day with his name written at the back of her head.

"She actually suggested the name Cole. I go, 'Yeah, I think it's a great idea. I think it's gonna be really funny, I think it's gonna be downright hysterical. I can't wait to see his face when he realizes what you did.' About three hours later, I get a text from Cole that is a photo with him and Bayley, and a reminder that Cole was not calling the Women's Royal Rumble match."
