21 Things We Learned From The WWE Network's NXT All-Star Panel

6. Everybody Loves Bayley!

NXT All-Star Panel

Without doubt, Bayley is right up there as one of the most over babyfaces that the WWE has seen over the last few years... and she's not yet even on the main roster. No matter what she does, the crowd just eats it up.

From the music, the smiles, the merchandise, the waves, the hugs, the in-ring ability, and the ever-important connection with the audience, Bayley simply has “it”.

Now whilst Finn Balor professing his fandom for the NXT Women’s Champion wasn’t a major surprise on Monday's All-Star Panel, it was brilliant to see that the antics of Bayley warm even the heart of the dastardly, villainous Kevin Owens.

If that isn’t “over” then I don’t know what is.
