Her WWE main roster run has been a mess, but Bayley remains one of the best women's wrestlers on the planet. The champion's inherently likeable personality, in-ring skills, and ability to develop chemistry with opponents as diverse as Nia Jax and Sasha Banks marks her as one of WWE's most well-rounded women, though her promos could use a bit of work.

Bayley is the most natural WWE babyface not named "Sami Zayn." A perfect underdog, she's a tremendous seller, and somebody who emotes very well between the ropes too. Her long journey through NXT was a flawless coming of age story, and resulted in two of the best matches in the developmental brand's history when she faced off with Sasha Banks at TakeOver: Brooklyn, then again at Respect.

She hasn't had a good 2017, but this is largely down to the company and not Bayley herself. Regardless, she had an excellent match with Charlotte on the February 13th episode of Raw, and produced a fine performance against Alexa Bliss at Payback. The skills are very much still there, and Bayley is only going to improve as the years progress, but WWE aren't giving her many opportunities to showcase herself at the moment.
