Since ditching her ponytail for shorter hair, Bayley has frequently had a word or picture shaved into the back of her head. At the Royal Rumble, she decided to have the surname of WWE commentator Michael Cole shaved into her hair. She planned to show him the new design during the Women’s Royal Rumble, but Tom Phillips commentated on the match instead.
Speaking on his After The Bell podcast, Graves said he spoke to Bayley earlier in the day about having “Cole” shaved into her head. However, he failed to mention that Cole was not going to commentate on her match.
Although he knew Cole was not going to commentate, Graves said that fact did not register in his brain during his conversation with Bayley.
Bayley’s 2021 WWE Royal Rumble appearance
Bayley was the first entrant in the 2021 WWE Women’s Royal Rumble. She showed her “Cole” design to the commentary team before the match, despite the fact that Michael Cole was not there.
The former SmackDown Women’s Champion eliminated Ruby Riott during her 29-minute appearance. The eventual winner, Bianca Belair, eliminated Bayley midway through the match.
