Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (2008–2012)

Martinez had been attending shows by Big Time Wrestling, a professional wrestling promotion in Northern California, since she was 11.[9][6] In April 2008, she started her professional wrestling career at the age of 18, by attending Big Time Wrestling's training classes by her head trainer Jason Styles,[9][6] which was one of the reasons why Martinez considered Big Time Wrestling as her home promotion.[9][6] She had her first match in September 2008.[6] On the American independent circuit, Martinez wrestled under the ring name Davina Rose.[10] Rose wrestled for Big Time Wrestling from 2008 to 2012.[11][12] Between 2011 and 2012, Rose branched out to wrestle for other promotions such as NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, Pro Wrestling Destination and Shine Wrestling.[13][14][15]

In October 2010, Rose first met her mentor Serena when they teamed together for a tag team match.[9] In October 2011, Rose made her debut for Shimmer Women Athletes. At the tapings of Shimmer Volume 41–44, she became embroiled in Serena's feud with the Canadian Ninjas (Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews).[9][6] At the tapings, Rose lost all four matches wrestled including her debut match to Mercedes Martinez.[16] In 2012, Rose continued to wrestle for Shimmer and she received her first victory on Volume 48 as she teamed with Mia Yim to defeat Melanie Cruise and Mena Libra; on Volumes 51 and 52, Rose picked up her first two singles victories in Shimmer with wins over Cherry Bomb and Rhia O'Reilly.[17]

On May 1, 2014, Bayley failed to advance in a tournament for the vacant NXT Women's Championship after losing to Banks in the first round.[24] After pinning Charlotte in a tag team match,[25] Bayley defeated Sasha Banks to become the number one contender to Charlotte's NXT Women's Championship,[26] but she was unsuccessful in capturing the title at NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way,[27] and in a rematch that took place on October 2.[28] In mid-October, after losing to Banks, Bayley was attacked by her former friend Becky Lynch, who allied with Banks, and Bayley later formed an alliance with former rival Charlotte to feud with Banks and Lynch throughout the following several weeks.[29] On the November 27 episode, Bayley was attacked by Banks and Lynch, injuring her knee in the storyline.[30] She returned on the January 21, 2015, episode, saving Charlotte from an attack by Banks and Lynch, before reluctantly attacking Charlotte herself.[31] On February 11 at NXT TakeOver: Rival, Bayley competed in a fatal four-way match for the NXT Women's Championship, but she failed to capture the title.[32]

NXT Women's Champion (2015–2016)

In March 2015, Bayley began a feud with Emma after she criticized Bayley for her niceness and claimed that it had prevented her from winning the NXT Women's Championship.[33][34] This led to a match between the two on the April 1 episode, which Bayley won.[35] On the April 29 episode, Bayley was defeated by Dana Brooke after a distraction by Emma.[36] Bayley gained revenge on Emma the following week, where she attacked her after Emma's loss to Charlotte in a match.[37] At NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable on May 20, Bayley teamed up with Charlotte to defeat Emma and Brooke.[38] On the May 27 episode, Bayley was defeated by Emma, and after the match she and Charlotte were attacked by Emma and Dana Brooke.[39] After a short hiatus, Bayley returned from a broken hand injury, on the July 22 episode, where she defeated Emma and stated she had her sights set on the NXT Women's Championship, officially ending their feud.[40]

At the event, Bayley accidentally hit Banks, who had been teaming up with Bayley for a majority of the match, causing a short argument between the two. Lacey Evans took advantage of the distraction to eliminate Banks, however Bayley ended up retaining her title after Banks returned to the ring and attacked Lacey Evans.

On the April 10 episode of SmackDown, Tamina challenged Bayley to a SmackDown Women's Championship Match. Bayley accepted, but only if Tamina could defeat Sasha Banks the following week.

On the June 5 episode of SmackDown (taped May 26), Bayley and Banks defeated Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross to win the Women's Tag Team Championships for the second time, which also made Bayley a double champion.

Professional wrestling style and persona

When beginning her wrestling career, and in fact, for the vast majority of it, Martinez's character, Bayley, was depicted a "hugger" coming out with multiple inflatable skydancers during her entrances as well as hugging many fans (particularly younger children) in attendance[118][119] She also earned the nickname "The Doctor of Hugonomics" (in allusion to John Cena's Thugonomics gimmick in the early-2000s).[120]

In the ring, Martinez (as Bayley) utilizes her finisher of the belly-to-belly suplex calling it the Bayley-to-Belly Suplex. Since her heel turn, however, she has started using a old finisher from her Indy days called the Rose Plant on her opponents.

As of September 2, 2019, when Bayley turned heel for the first time in her career, she started with depicting a hypocritical persona, as she acted like nothing had changed, with her entrance music and in-ring gear remaining intact, despite developing villainous traits and underhanded tactics. On October 11, Bayley debuted a new look, having cut her ponytail off, destroying her inflatable tube men, and using profanity against the fans in her post-match promo.

Other media

Martinez is playable in four WWE video games, making her video game debut in WWE 2K17[121] and appearing again in WWE 2K18,[122] WWE 2K19,[123] and WWE 2K20.[124]

Personal life

Martinez has a younger sister. She cites Randy Savage, The Rock, The Hardy Boyz, Lita, Rey Mysterio, John Cena, Eddie Guerrero, Ivory, Victoria, Bret Hart, Triple H, The Fabulous Moolah, and Trish Stratus as her influences in wrestling. Martinez is engaged to Aaron Solow, whom she met in 2010.[125][126] She also owns a pogo stick that her mom got her when she was young. [120] Martinez plans on opening her own wrestling school, once her in-ring career comes to a close.[127]
