#backlash 2023

You and Bayley are sitting together on the couch, scrolling through your Instagram feed, when you suddenly let out a small laugh. Bayley looks at you curiously, wondering what has caught your attention.

"What's so funny?" she asks, leaning in to get a better look at your phone.

You show her the photo you had posted earlier of the two of you together, with a caption expressing your love and appreciation for her. As Bayley reads the comments, her eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"Why are people calling me 'big daddy'?" she asks, a hint of amusement in her voice.

You chuckle and blush slightly, realizing that you hadn't mentioned the nickname to her before. "I think I posted a story of you at Backlash where I called you big daddy a few weeks back, I guess it caught on." you sheepishly explain.

Bayley's eyes widen in surprise, but she quickly breaks into a grin. "Wait, you called me 'big daddy'?" she asks, trying to suppress a laugh.

You nod, feeling a little embarrassed but also finding the situation hilarious. "Yeah, people were so caught up with the Priest vs Bad Bunny stuff so I thought I’d try and lighten the mood." you admit, blushing profusely.

Bayley bursts into laughter, finding the whole thing incredibly amusing. "Oh my god, that's too funny!" she exclaims.

You join in her laughter, feeling a sense of relief that she finds it amusing rather than awkward. "I know, right? I didn't expect it to catch on like this, but I guess people liked it or something," you say.

Bayley leans over and wraps her arms around you, pulling you into a tight hug. "Well, personally, I love it." she says, leaning back on the couch crossing her arms over her chest.

You smile up at her, thinking about how much you love her, even when she gets all cocky. "You’re so annoying" you reply, nudging her with your elbow.

Bayley laughs. “What? I’m just embracing my new name. Maybe I should pitch that to Vince and Triple H and use it as my new ring name.” She grins as you watch her, she’s manspreading with her arms crossed and pretending to be a real douche bag.
