Summary

Bayley said she initially disliked her NXT entrance music when she debuted the Hugger character in WWE, but she eventually came to like it.

She described the song "Turn It Up" by CFO$ as a temporary fit from her early NXT days, and said she used it because music was approved by Triple H even though she did not like it at first.

The same interview also noted that Bayley is currently booked to face AJ Lee for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on WWE Raw on March 16.

Bayley’s theme evolution could keep reshaping how WWE frames her character

Bayley’s recounting of her first NXT theme keeps the focus on WWE character development. If she could move from disliking "Turn It Up" to using it as a crowd cue, it reinforces that music shifts can become part of a character’s identity over time.

For the upcoming 3/16 Raw match with AJ Lee, the theme backstory may matter to fans tracking how Bayley presents herself during major televised matches, especially if WWE keeps her current package or makes another change.

Quote from Bayley

"It kind of depends where you’re at in your career. Like my first one in NXT when I became the Hugger, they sent me, ‘Hey, this is what we’re thinking for music.’ I hated it. Then the next text was, ‘Hunter loves it.’ I said, ‘Alright, sounds good!’ Like that’s my song. Then [I] grew to love it, you know? Like people just got really excited when it came on."
