Summary

Bayley said her current WWE entrance music was never intended to be permanent.

She said the theme she has been using since April 2024, "Role Model" by def rebel, was not originally planned as a long-term track. Bayley previously used "Deliverance" and "We Got the Rage" while in Damage CTRL.

During an IGN interview, Bayley said the post-heel change to Deliverance started as a temporary pick, but WWE kept it after she liked it. She also said she misses her earlier Damage CTRL theme and described the music selection process as a balancing act between her, the music team, and Hunter.

Bayley added that "Role Model" was intended for WrestleMania 40 only and described it as still not her favorite.

Bayley and WWE music direction on Raw, with real consequences for character tone

Bayley’s comments put music choice on clearer footing for her WWE presentation: if a temporary track can stay after fan response, Bayley’s entrance package can be shaped by what plays strongest on TV, not just one-off plan.

If WWE does revisit her theme choices in future segments, the same process she described suggests any shift will likely be tied to broader character direction and collaboration, not just a single backstage decision.

Quotes

Quote from Bayley (via IGN interview)

"When I turned heel, it was the song that I ended up keeping (Deliverance by def rebel). They were like, ‘Hey, this is just for tonight. We don’t have to keep it.’ But then I really liked it. I like the little guitar solo in it. So we kept that."

"When Damage Control came about, we kind of collabed on that. So it was a little bit of back and forth. I feel like me, the music team, and Hunter all have different visions. We hear different things. That took me a little bit to get used to, but I actually miss that song (We Got the Rage by def rebel), the rapping one."

"The one I have now (Role Model by def rebel) was also one of those things where it was like, ‘Hey, this is just for ‘Mania, when I wrestled iYo, but we can get back to it. We just never got back to it. It’s not my favorite but that’s also my fault too. I need to be more on it, I guess."
