WWE has often used character changes to switch up a star's storyline, and Bayley appears to be the next to benefit from this strategy. However, wrestling veteran Vince Russo is not entirely confident in her ability to pull off the storyline she's been booked in.

Bayley, according to Russo, is not very skilled at cutting promos. As such, the morally conflicted character she's trying to portray currently might not go over well with fans, given that it's a complex character. While it appears that The Role Model is likely going back to her heel ways, the change is yet to be fully realised.

On Writing with Russo, Vince Russo said that The Role Model isn't a good actor, and someone of Bray Wyatt's caliber can only make it happen.

"I believe like Alexa Bliss could pull that off. I could see her doing something like that. But Bayley, it's just to me, is just not a good actor, and I feel like if you are gonna pull something like that off, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, you are talking about needing a Bray Wyatt caliber type of person to really pull that off and make you believe. Like, I believe even Nikki Cross could probably do something like that. But from what I have seen with Bayley and her promos, unless, unless, she is taking this time off and getting acting lessons, which maybe she is doing, I don't know."

The WWE veteran was critical of Bayley's skill

According to Vince Russo, Bayley needs to seriously upgrade her talent in terms of cutting promos to be able to pull off her new character.

Speaking on the same episode of Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated:

"If she's gonna have a split personality and she has got the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other shoulder, she has got to be able to pull that off. And I don't think she has ever been able to cut a promo. I, God, I always remember the Bayley this is your life, how horrible that was."

It remains to be seen what is next for Bayley in WWE.
