Wait a second, Bayley? The current top woman on SmackDown? How is she on this list while she holds the WWE Women's Championship and has won nearly all of her matches?!

Three words: Unfortunately, nobody cares.

It's harsh to say, especially for someone who has long been so great and deserved better, but her current run with the title has been one of the most drab, uninteresting reigns in recent history.

Her first feud after WrestleMania was with Naomi and Tiffany Stratton in a "quantity over quality" program. What's worse is that Bayley's part of that equation was the least interesting element, considering Naomi was fresh from a return to the company and Stratton was newly traded to the main roster. The feud was dull, uninspired, and quickly brushed aside.

Bayley was then overshadowed by Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill as the most prominent women on Friday nights, doing nothing of note until she was thrust into a half-assed, last-minute program with Piper Niven merely because Clash at the Castle took place in Scotland. That match wasn't even anything worth going back and watching if you missed it.

Bayley can't even get on most promotional posters and seems to just be killing time until Queen Nia Jax beats her for the title at SummerSlam.
