10 Greatest Champions In Professional Wrestling Today

8. Bayley - WWE Raw Women's Champion

WrestleMania season is a tough time to be champion.

Part-timers like Goldberg swoop in and grab titles that don't belong to him, while WWE chooses short-term over long-term benefits, hoping to make 'Mania as big an extravaganza as possible. One thing they didn't give up on, though, was Bayley as Raw Women's Champion.

Bayley has received much criticism from fans recently. Bored with her "I'm just so happy to be here" schtick, people are constantly praying for a Sasha Banks heel turn. While that's probably in the books, let's take a look at what Bayley has done.

WWE looked to be building something with Charlotte's PPV streak, evidenced by Bayley winning the title on Raw. They didn't even wait to 'Mania though, with Bayley breaking that streak a month earlier at Fastlane. Then's there's the stellar and underrated 'Mania match. It could be argued that Bayley was the strongest champion coming out of Orlando, and we may get plenty more of her on top on Raw.
