10 Best Babyface WWE Champions Of The Last Decade
6. Bayley (NXT Women’s Champion)
The Bayley we know today is not even close to the slice of wholesome pie that she started as down in NXT. Her heelish antics are fantastic, but it's easy to look back on her ultimate NXT babyface persona as the best period of her WWE career, and this title reign was the top of that mountain.
When Bayley originally made her way to NXT, she was an instant hit. Her hug obsessed gimmick was effortlessly charming, and fans couldn't get enough of her positive attitude. Thanks to her popularity, it was no surprise that she was entered into the title picture as soon as she could be.
Bayley eventually captured the belt in what's still regarded to be one of the best matches to have ever taken place in NXT. Her war against Sasha Banks at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn didn't just give fans a groundbreaking encounter; it also became a formative part of the women's evolution in the company.
Not only did Bayley grab the title in spectacular fashion, but she defended it bravely and always stuck to her wholesome guns. She battled against Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax and more with the fans on her side the whole way.
