Teddy Long thinks that a certain 35-year-old RAW Superstar will need to wait for another big push to come her way. He also elaborated on the complexity of her current situation.

In the latest episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, host Mac Davis addressed Bayley's surprising recent comments. The Role Model recently admitted that she wasn't on the level of her fellow Horsewomen, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

Teddy Long said that there wasn't anything that Bayley was missing. However, he pointed to the fact that she had received big pushes multiple times over her tenure. He believes that she's going to have to wait her turn again.

"I don't think anything is missing from Bayley. You've got to look at it like this: Bayley's been there for a minute, right? She's also had the rocket on her back. Maybe Bayley's mind is made up; maybe WWE's mind isn't made up. So Bayley's going to have to wait and see how they're going to use her or what they want to do with her now," he said. [2:08-2:33]

Teddy Long had an interesting comment about the possible direction of WWE

One of the directions that many felt WWE could be going in is one where bloodshed becomes an occurrence on television.

We certainly saw that in the build-up to WrestleMania 41, with Gunther busting open Jimmy Uso, adding heat to his feud with Jey Uso. However, Teddy Long believes that WWE should move forward with caution.

On a previous edition of The Wrestling Time Machine, the former SmackDown GM stated that it's important not to overdo spots involving blood and elaborated on his reasoning.

"I don't think with WWE, if they're gonna have some brutal matches loaded with blood, they're gonna save that and make that mean something. That would be for a major show, WrestleMania or SummerSlam, or something like that. I don't see any sense in doing it on TV. I'd tease it, maybe, on TV, give them a little tease, and then when they saw the real thing, it'd be pay-per-view," he added.

It will be interesting to see if we see more stars shed blood on weekly programming in the future.
