What People Say: Complete with one-dimensional 'Girl Next Door' gimmick, childish side ponytail and hushed, almost under-confident promos, Bayley hasn't kicked on from her NXT success to become great on WWE's main roster. She's the least exciting of the fabled 'Four Horsewomen', and lags behind Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks.

Why She Deserves Respect: In interviews, Bayley is open and honest about her thoughts on pro wrestling life without senselessly whining about her lot. It would've been easy for her to take time off from WWE like her pal Sasha did earlier this year, but that's not Bayley's style.

She put her head down, grafted and got on with it.

That graft should be admired rather than ridiculed. No, Bayley's heel turn hasn't worked out like Banks' one did, but she's one of the most dependably chipper performers on WWE's books regardless and is super-reliable when others maybe aren't.
