If theres a bigger babyface in all of professional wrestling than WWE superstar and former NXT champion Bayley, it just might be the woman behind the character.Pamela Martinez, 29, who adopted the Bayley gimmick in 2013 shortly after debuting in WWEs developmental territory, has never quite quenched her undying passion for the product, which ultimately might be the greatest secret to her success.With her colorful attire and sunny attitude, theres an almost irresistible quality to Bayleys character thats helped her connect with WWE fans in a unique way.Honestly, its an insane, weird connection that I really feel with fans instantly when I come out, because Im still very much a fan myself and I still cant believe that I get to do this every single day, Bayley told ESPN.com. So when I come out, I think they read that and they feel that. And I totally still remember what it feels like to be on the other side of the barricade and how important each moment is, just being able to be in the same building as your favorite superstars.A lifelong WWE fanatic and a native of Newark, California, Bayley grew up attending as many autograph signings and pro wrestling shows as her family would allow.Even her look is completely authentic to who she is outside the ring, down to the tiniest of details, including her bright clothing.Its totally me -- this is who I was when I was 10 years old, even with the hair and everything, Bayley said. I hated having my hair down because it got into my face when I was playing sports. My mom would always put my hair down and make it all pretty, and by the time I got to school I would have it up in a ponytail.Among the many firsts Bayley has experienced as her career has taken off over the past few years, she admits the debut of her own video game character via last weeks release of WWE 2K17 ranks right up there.Its something that I still dont quite believe is happening, Bayley said. Having a toy [of myself] was really, really cool, but they are so easily breakable. Kids love playing with them [but] my nephews have already broken off the ponytails and stuff. Thats cool, but I think a video game is just incredible because its going to last forever and its always going to be out there.Bayleys ascension to the top of NXT was a slow and steady build over the course of four years as she worked hard to become a key face of the brand. Along the way, she took part in a series of memorable matches against the other three members of the Four Horsewomen --Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch. As a collective, they proved to be the catalyst in WWEs evolution away from the Divas era.As beloved as Bayley became with NXT in the tiny Full Sail University arena in Orlando, Florida, there was some concern about whether her wholesome and pure gimmick would work quite the same on the main roster. She had gotten big reactions during NXTs occasional showcases, such as NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, but lets not forget -- this is an era in which a white meat babyface has become almost extinct, with good guys like John Cena and Roman Reigns hearing just as many boos as cheers.Among the many doubters was Bayley herself, who worried how things would go in her Raw debut on Aug. 23 in Brooklyn, New York. Two nights after losing to Asuka in Bayleys final NXT match on SummerSlam weekend in the very same arena, Bayleys Raw debut was a smashing success as she entered the Barclays Center to a rousing pop that has yet to die down among WWE crowds.As the weeks went on, I was scared almost every night, Bayley said. But I think thats definitely a challenge that I was prepared to take on. I was prepared for everyone to boo me and say, Yeah, who is this chick? But I was lucky to debut in the Barclays [Center], which is like a second home to me. I was lucky to have that first reaction.Bayleys connection with the Barclays Center goes back to NXT Takeover: Brooklyn in August 2015, the brands first major show outside of Florida, when she defeated Sasha Banks in an instant classic that truly solidified her status as one of the best in the world at what she does.That match almost got derailed before it even started. Bayley nearly lost her focus entirely when she walked through the Gorilla position backstage and realized she was standing behind Vince McMahon, whom she had met only briefly once before.I was like, Oh my God! Why is he here! Why is he here! Bayley said. I started freaking out. I was standing behind him so he had no idea I was there and I was like, Oh gosh, I wish I didnt see him. It just made me a million times more nervous. I was real intimidated.Bayley said she eventually shook the hand of the WWE chairman and thanked him for coming, while secretly hoping he didnt know who she was. After her match with Banks, it would become impossible for anyone backstage to overlook her.When we came back, he was laughing and he shook our hands and said, Thank you, that was amazing, Bayley said. And I just broke down. That was something that I would always remember.In October 2015, Bayley defeated Banks again in a 30-minute Ironman match at NXT Takeover: Respect that was recognized not only as one of the best matches overall in 2015 but also as one of the finest womens bouts in history. The match was the first time two women headlined an NXT TakeOver event. Recalling it brought back an incredible stream of emotions for Bayley, who began to tear up when asked about it.Having Stephanie McMahon and Lita sitting out there for [the Ironman] match, that was a huge deal because for the 10-year-old inside of me, Lita is my favorite ever, Bayley said. And then having [Triple H] come out at the very end, he said, You guys made this happen. It was the whole atmosphere of having the whole locker room out there [applauding]. Probably once he said that and I looked around, thats when it all set in.The relatable nature of Bayleys character isnt an act. She admits that she is forced to overcome fear and doubt in herself pretty much every day. But, asked to locate a turning point in the building of her confidence, she points to a backstage conversation with former WWE star AJ Lee during Bayleys first week with the company.As much as she remembers joining NXT with full confidence in her wrestling ability after four years on the independent circuit, it was the concept of living up to the image of a WWE Diva that scared her.I kind of felt like maybe I didnt have what it took to look like a supermodel and wear high heels all the time and my nails, Bayley said. That was something that I was struggling with, but AJ was actually someone who was there when I was kind of down on myself. She was somebody who made her career off of just being herself. She kind of let me know that it is OK, that I can be myself and that I could be successful just doing what I believe is right.Thats something that always stuck with me and really, really helped my career, she continued. Whenever I got down after that, whenever I had doubts about anything that I was doing -- and sometimes people can get in your head on Twitter or whatever -- you sort of have to just brush it off because you believe what you are doing is how you feel and what you believe in.Less than two months into her run on the main roster, Bayley has the same goals for the future of the WWE womens division as for her sisters in the Four Horsewomen -- to be a main event of a pay-per-view and, ultimately, of WrestleMania.She said the recent title match in the Raw main event between Charlotte and Banks was a huge step in the right direction, and she had the same reaction to Charlottes corkscrew moonsault onto the floor as many watching at home.Everything that Charlotte does -- and sometimes Sasha -- always freaks me out, because they are just incredibly athletic and so daring, Bayley said. I had no doubt she was going to land [the moonsault] perfectly because shes, like, insane. Shes in a whole other world.Bayley would like to see WWE take things one step further, allowing a greater variety of womens matches, including tables matches and falls count anywhere matches. Banks and Charlotte will get their chance to make history at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view on Oct. 30 as they vie for the WWE Raw womens championship inside of the cell. If Bayley is called to a similar opportunity in the future, she is more than ready.If I had to do something insane to win a championship match, then I would push myself to do it, Bayley said. Theres a little daredevil inside of me. Growing up watching Lita do these things is what really inspired me. Maybe Ill save it for my WrestleMania moment.In the meantime, Bayley is focused on giving back to fans exactly what she took from so many years attending live events.Any moment that I can give to a fan or to anybody in the arena, I want them to be able to walk out with some sort of memory, Bayley said. I think thats maybe why I feel like my connection with fans is so strong. Personally, Im still very much a fan myself and I know what its like. Im enjoying this just as much as they are.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had some memorable battles against Peyton Manning over his football career, and they met up again on Sunday at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver. Only this time, the meeting was before and after the game, not during it.Mannings longtime teammate Brandon Stokley tweeted a picture of the two quarterbacks meeting behind the scenes of the Patriots-Broncos?tilt, which New England won, 16-3.It was nice to see him. It was a nice surprise. I didnt realize hed be at the game, Brady said Monday night during his weekly interview with Westwood One Radio. I saw him briefly before the game, and then I saw him after the game with his kids. So it was nice to see his kids are growing up fast, just like mine are.He and I have a lot in common over the years. I thought he was just one of the very best to play the position. I always looked up to him and admired him for everything that he accomplished in the league as a great leader for his team. He was just a spectacular player. So Ive alwways enjoyed being around him and certainly always talking a lot of football.ddddddddddddAsked what they talked about on Sunday, Brady said, For the most part, we havent seen each other in a long time, so it was just catching up, talking about our families, some holiday plans, just a lot of very cordial conversation. I really like Peyton. Ive had a great friendship over the years, and hopefully, it will stay that way for many years to come.Brady had an 11-6 record against Manning in their head-to-head matchups. Manning secured the most recent victory, in last seasons AFC Championship Game, en route to the Broncos Super Bowl championship.There are a lot of things in common that weve had over the years, so its nice to have someone who can relate to a lot of similar experiences weve had, Brady said on Westwood One. Being that we were in it together for so long at the same time, its really a special relationship to me. ' ' '
