Shelton Benjamin: Give Bayley Her Flowers, You All Need To Be Talking About Her More

Shelton Benjamin wants Bayley to get the respect she deserves.

“The Role Model” and Cody Rhodes won their respective Royal Rumble matches. However, most of the conversation on the road to WrestleMania has focused on Rhodes.

Speaking on the Black Rasslin’ Podcast, former WWE star Shelton Benjamin shared his thoughts on the latest happenings in the wrestling world. He brought up Bayley’s Royal Rumble win and noted that she deserved more attention and respect.

“This is to all social media. You need to be talking about Bayley a whole lot more,” Shelton Benjamin said. “Don’t get me wrong, everyone’s hot on The Rock and Cody and ‘finish the story.’ But at the same time, I say, like CM Punk said, Bayley won the Royal Rumble, and all anyone is talking about is Cody’s story.

“Give Bayley her flowers. I think she’s one of the most underrated girls on the roster. I feel like she’s underrated and underappreciated by the company, but not by the talent. We recognize what she is. Bayley should be world champion come April. That’s my personal opinion.”
