The current NXT Women's Champion deserves to be on this list for her role in being a female performer and co-headlining a WWE Network special event. As well, Bayley's character represents WWE's desire to embrace their PG rating and create characters that are empowering, fun and heroic winners that children can look up to and embody. Bayley's early accomplishments may pale in comparison to what she eventually does. Thus, expect her ranking on this list to rise exponentially in the future.
