They eventually moved on to work with Independent Wrestling companies. In 2013, Bayley debuted with WWE’s developmental territory NXT while Aaron was also hired by NXT on and off for temporary appearances.

However, there is no dearth of love and mutual respect between the couple going by their social media activity. As of 2018, Bayley and Aaron were engaged and living together in Austin, Texas.

• Additionally, Bayley performs steel mace exercises that she learnt from Onnit Steel Mace Master Coach, Eric Melland.
