9. Bayley Wins The Raw Women’s Championship

In NXT, Bayley’s underdog story was one for the ages, and her two TakeOver wins over Sasha Banks will be remembered by wrestling fans for years to come. Although the WWE couldn’t quite replicate that success on the main roster, her Raw Women’s Championship victory on a Feb. 13 episode of Monday Night Raw was still a big deal.

As anyone who has followed her career would tell you, Bayley put on an excellent match that night with Charlotte Flair, who had just concluded a feud with Sasha Banks over that title that included equally exceptional bouts. Bayley and Charlotte left it all in that ring, and Bayley showed the WWE Universe that she is indeed as excellent in that ring as any woman in the company.

After the win, Bayley celebrated with the rest of the WWE Universe, and it was a moment that her fans won’t forget any time soon. Although the WWE has damaged her character since then by destroying its nuances during her feud before Alexa Bliss.

But before Vince McMahon got in the way, Bayley had her moment under the sun, and you couldn’t help but feel happy for a wrestler who fulfilled her childhood dream and has always been there for her fans as someone who wants to take on the responsibility of being a role model to young girls and boys.
