10 Candidates For WWE's Upcoming Women's Tournament

10. Blue Pants

It woudn't hurt to have a familiar face in the tournament - someone who's been in NXT and is recognizable to fans, but hasn't really gotten the chance to show exactly what she can do. Leva 'Blue Pants' Bates falls into that category nicely.

Bates - who has worked extensively for Shimmer Women Athletes - came to prominence during an NXT appearance in October 2014. She was introduced by Enzo and Big Cass, who forgot her name and referred to her as 'Blue Pants' based on her attire. The name stuck, she was given the theme from The Price is Right as her entrance music, and she soon became a cult favorite.

Blue Pants made many more appearances, even cornering The Vaudevillains when they defeated Blake and Murphy for the NXT Tag Team Titles at TakeOver: Brooklyn. She hasn't worked for the brand since losing to Nia Jax late last year, though, and now that she's recovered from a broken leg, she's poised for a comeback.
