WWE’s very own Bayley has been one of the biggest female superstars in the promotion. The former Triple Crown champion has undergone an amazing transformation from being a hugger baby face to a bitter heel.

Being super immersed in the character of a heel, she makes sure that everyone gets to see her as a mean fighting machine inside and outside the ring. But recently, fans got the opportunity to witness Bayley being a hugger again. What brought out the personality change? Let’s find out.

Bayley’s presence and a ‘present’ at the 49ers game

Two sporting worlds collided recently. Former women’s champ Bayley attended the San Francisco 49ers game on January 7th. Well, she didn’t just attend the game; she also met tight end George Kittle and presented him with a custom WWE Championship Belt that was part of the WWE x NFL legacy collection.

The two even shared a hug and posed for the camera.

Re-tweeting the X post shared by the team on their account, Bayley simply wrote, “FAITHFUL @WWE x @NFL”. To the delight of WWE fans in attendance at the game, she even took part in the pre-game festivities and hyped up the crowd.

Even though the San Francisco 49ers lost the game to the Los Angeles Rams by 21-20, for Kittle, meeting the leader of Damage CTRL must’ve been a major win. Why? well, he’s a huge fan of pro wrestling. And his love for the sport is not just limited to visiting live events. In fact, he even shares a close bond with a major AEW star.

The tight end and the tight-knit bond

Kittle is a huge fan of wrestling. He even manages to incorporate an element of the sport into his by celebrating his many first downs with the “Cero Miedo” hand signal. But why that in particular? Well, because the 30-year-old is friends with none other than Pentagon El Zero Miedo.

In an interview with ESPN, Kittle opened up about how he was an admirer of the former AEW world trios champion. He said, “His swagger in the ring and his confidence – just kind of stuck with me. I mean, wrestling, it’s something that I love and enjoy, too. So, just seeing that in the ring and just how he holds himself and how he enters the ring, how he leaves the ring, everything he does has a purpose, and I just kind of love that.”

After a brief meetup with the Mexican luchador, the two exchanged gifts. While Penta received a jersey from Kittle, the tight end got to keep the fight mask of the luchador. And the gifts didn’t just end at masks, as the 38-year-old pro-wrestler sent customized cleats with his face and “Cero Miedo” emblazoned upon them on Halloween.

So looking at Kittle’s admiration for wrestling, he surely would be cheered up after receiving another wrestling souvenir from the custom WWE Championship he just received. Bayley, on the other hand, would surely be looking to cheer herself up as well by winning the Royal Rumble. Did you know about Kittle’s love for the sport? What did you make of the interaction between Bayley and the NFL star? Let us know in the comments.
