The wrestling world has long viewed WWE’s Four Horsewomen as an unbreakable sisterhood who revolutionized women’s wrestling together. However, Bayley’s recent candid revelations paint a different picture of the legendary quartet’s behind-the-scenes dynamics.
The Myth vs. Reality of the Four Horsewomen Bond
During her appearance on Raw Recap, the former Women’s Champion pulled back the curtain on what many fans assumed was a tight-knit friendship. Her honest assessment challenges the narrative that has surrounded the group for years.
The Four Horsewomen—consisting of Bayley, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Mercedes Moné (formerly Sasha Banks)—earned their reputation by transforming WWE’s women’s division during their groundbreaking NXT runs. Their collective impact cannot be overstated in modern wrestling history.
Bayley’s Honest Take on Backstage Relationships
The Role Model didn’t mince words when discussing her connections with her fellow Horsewomen. Her comments reveal a more complex dynamic than fans might expect from wrestling’s most celebrated female faction.
“I feel it’s a little complicated, it’s a very, like, sisterly, family type situation when it comes to the four of us. If I’m being quite honest, I’ve never really been close to Becky. I’ve never rode to shows together with her, I’ve never been close to Charlotte.”
This revelation adds new context to the current storyline tensions between Bayley and Lynch on Monday Night Raw. What many viewed as purely kayfabe appears to have roots in genuine professional distance.
The Missing Personal Connection
Bayley’s description of their relationship—or lack thereof—paints a picture of four women who shared professional success without developing deep personal bonds. The absence of typical friendship activities speaks volumes about their dynamic.
“We never had that relationship of like, ‘Oh let’s go out to dinner after the show.’ It was different, so I can understand where this is coming from, from Becky, because it was never really there.”
Professional Respect vs. Personal Friendship
Despite acknowledging the lack of personal closeness, Bayley expressed surprise that their shared professional journey wasn’t enough to maintain unity. Her comments suggest she valued their collective accomplishments over individual relationships.
The former NXT Women’s Champion believed their historical significance should have transcended personal differences. Their role in elevating women’s wrestling seemed, in her mind, to create an unbreakable professional bond.
“I thought there was some type of unity there though. I thought there was some type of like – with the history and everything we had gone through, all the training and all the matches that we’ve had together, and everything that we’ve fought for and stood for in such an important time for women’s wrestling in the WWE.
The Legacy That Should Have United Them
Bayley’s perspective highlights the generational impact these four women had on sports entertainment. Their NXT work laid the foundation for today’s women’s wrestling landscape, creating opportunities for countless performers who followed.
The collective achievements of the Four Horsewomen include multiple championship reigns, groundbreaking matches, and a cultural shift in how women’s wrestling is perceived and presented in WWE.
Lingering Issues and Unresolved Tensions
Perhaps most revealing was Bayley’s assessment of Lynch’s motivations in their current feud. Her analysis suggests that professional jealousy or insecurity may be driving The Man’s actions rather than storyline necessity.
“To come up and do this together, to bring change in the women’s division, I thought that was a bond strong enough, but apparently not after all these years, she still has some sort of insecurity and something against me that she’s still hanging on to, and that she still has to lash out on.”
This psychological insight adds layers to their on-screen conflict and raises questions about how much of their rivalry stems from genuine professional tension versus scripted drama.
The Future of the Four Horsewomen Legacy
With Mercedes Moné now competing in AEW and the remaining three women navigating complex relationships within WWE, the Four Horsewomen’s story continues to evolve. Bayley’s honesty provides a rare glimpse into the reality behind wrestling’s most celebrated female alliance.
Her revelations remind us that professional success doesn’t always translate to personal friendship, even among those who share historic achievements. As Bayley and Lynch’s feud intensifies on Raw, fans now understand there may be more legitimate heat behind their conflicts than anyone realized—but will this knowledge change how we view their upcoming encounters, and could these unresolved tensions actually elevate their in-ring chemistry to new heights?
