Anita Vaughan and Safire Reed have made their preference clear: if Hyperactive could secure a major tag team match, Bayley and Mercedes Moné would be the opponents at the top of the list.
The UK-based pairing discussed the prospect during a recent appearance on In The Weeds, where they were asked to take part in a “partner, promo, punch in the face” game involving three teams: Bayley and Mercedes Moné, The Kabuki Warriors, and Divine Dominion. The game called for the duo to choose one team to wrestle, one to verbally spar with, and one to align with.
Vaughan and Reed ultimately agreed on their final selections, with a possible bout against Bayley and Moné standing out as the most appealing option. The choice reflects the ambitious outlook of a team that has built experience in the United Kingdom and Japan while continuing to pursue high-profile opportunities.
“I agree with what you said, we can submit our final answer. So we would like to wrestle Bayley and Mercedes. That would be nice. If possible, please. We will promo against the Kabuki Warriors in our best Japanese attempt, and we will tag with Divine Dominion and throw Safire Reed around and that is our final answer.”

Hyperactive’s picks put the spotlight on a potential marquee match
The most notable part of Hyperactive’s answer was their desire to share the ring with Bayley and Mercedes Moné. Both women are among the most recognizable performers of their generation, and the thought of Vaughan and Reed meeting them as a team would represent a significant stage for Hyperactive.
It was a hypothetical answer rather than an announced match, and there is no indication that a bout involving the two teams has been scheduled. Still, the response offered a direct statement of intent from Vaughan and Reed. Rather than settling for a safe answer in a playful format, Hyperactive identified a pairing they believe would be a compelling challenge.
The appeal of the matchup is clear from a tag team perspective. Vaughan and Reed are a unit with an established identity, and their shared history makes the prospect of facing a duo with the profile of Bayley and Moné especially attractive. The answer also showed that Hyperactive are thinking beyond individual matchups and toward the kind of team competition that can define a tag act’s rise.
For wrestlers working across multiple scenes, a dream opponent selection can say plenty about where they see themselves. Hyperactive’s answer positioned them as a team eager to test their chemistry, presence, and in-ring approach against names who would make any prospective encounter feel important.
The Kabuki Warriors would get the promo challenge
Hyperactive chose The Kabuki Warriors for the promo portion of the game. Vaughan’s answer carried a playful twist, as she said the team would deliver the exchange “in our best Japanese attempt.”
The remark was made in the spirit of the game, but it also fits Hyperactive’s own connection to Japan. Vaughan and Reed have spent time wrestling there, adding a natural layer to their choice. That background gives them an appreciation for a wrestling environment outside the United Kingdom, while also making the verbal showdown selection a fitting one for the pair.
The Kabuki Warriors have long been a notable name in women’s tag team wrestling, so being selected for the promo battle was not a dismissal. Instead, Hyperactive framed the matchup as a chance to bring personality into the equation. A promo contest with a team of that stature would challenge Vaughan and Reed to match an established act’s charisma as much as their wrestling ability.
Hyperactive’s answer was also delivered with the kind of humor that often helps a team connect with audiences. Their selections were not simply a ranking of opponents. They gave each choice a distinct purpose: Bayley and Moné for the match, The Kabuki Warriors for the talking, and Divine Dominion for an alliance built around chaos.
Divine Dominion were chosen as the partners
When it came to selecting allies, Hyperactive chose Divine Dominion. Vaughan added that the partnership would include “throw[ing] Safire Reed around,” giving the answer another lighthearted flourish and underscoring the rapport between the two members of Hyperactive.
That kind of exchange is valuable for a tag team. While their work in the ring remains the central focus, audiences also get to know a pairing through the way teammates speak about one another. Vaughan and Reed’s willingness to joke at each other’s expense suggests a comfortable dynamic, one that can help make Hyperactive feel like more than two wrestlers standing side by side.
Choosing Divine Dominion also completed the structure of the game in a way that made sense for Hyperactive. They selected a dream match against Bayley and Moné, a promotional clash with The Kabuki Warriors, and a team-up with Divine Dominion. Each answer allowed Vaughan and Reed to show a slightly different side of their outlook: competitive ambition, humor, and a willingness to embrace physical mayhem.
UK experience and a growing connection to Japan
Hyperactive have been a regular presence on the United Kingdom wrestling scene. The duo are associated with promotions including Pro Wrestling EVE and RevPro, where they have been able to establish themselves as a recognizable team. Their status as a UK-based act has not limited their range, however, as they have also spent time in Japan.
That international experience is an important part of the context around their comments. A tag team that has worked in different wrestling settings develops perspective that cannot always be gained by remaining in one territory. For Hyperactive, time in Japan has complemented their work in the UK and helped broaden the scope of their journey as a unit.
Earlier in 2026, Vaughan and Reed signed with Sendai Girls. The signing marked another meaningful step for both wrestlers and strengthened their link to Japanese women’s wrestling. It also gives added weight to their reference to doing their best Japanese while discussing The Kabuki Warriors. Their comments were playful, but they came from performers who have already made Japan a genuine part of their careers.
The Sendai Girls deal is significant because it gives Hyperactive a new platform while they continue to maintain the team identity they have developed elsewhere. There is no need for their ambitions to be limited to one country or one company. Their answer in the interview illustrated precisely that broad outlook, as they discussed teams connected to major stages while continuing to build their own path.
A straightforward statement of ambition
There was no elaborate challenge issued to Bayley and Mercedes Moné, and Hyperactive did not present the possible match as something already in motion. Their response was more direct than that: they would like the opportunity, and they believe it would be nice if it were possible.
That straightforward approach made the answer stand out. In professional wrestling, dream match discussions can quickly turn into speculation about where, when, or how a bout might happen. At present, the key point is simply that Anita Vaughan and Safire Reed have named the match they would most want from the three choices put before them.
For a team with experience in Pro Wrestling EVE, RevPro, and Japan, that selection is a natural sign of confidence. Hyperactive are not merely discussing established names from a distance. They are continuing to grow as a tandem, have signed with Sendai Girls, and are openly identifying the type of opponents they would welcome.
Their full set of choices also captured what makes tag wrestling entertaining. There was room for a serious aspirational matchup, a potentially amusing promo confrontation, and a chaotic alliance. Whether any of those hypothetical combinations ever becomes reality remains unknown, but Hyperactive made their preferred scenario unmistakable: Vaughan and Reed want Bayley and Mercedes Moné across the ring from them.
