5.  Bayley’s heel turn was epic

Bayley becoming a heel was like hitting the reset button. It didn’t stop after she attacked Becky Lynch with a chair. She changed everything about her. The ponytail was cut off, destroyed her inflatable buddies, told the fans off, and changed her theme music. You’d think someone with a John Cena-like personality would have taken a hit after such a drastic change. Instead, her heel personality was adored.

Wrestling greats know when to switch things up. New World Order Hulk Hogan, blue-blood Hunter Hearst Helmsley becoming Triple H, and Sting going black and white were all dramatic changes that helped their careers. It was time for Bayley to do the same.

Bayley could have remained a lovable character who wore bright colors. Would her popularity be what it is now? Probably not. Eventually, things would have gotten stale. Plus, as you can tell, she’s better at being evil. When her career is over, her personality change will be looked at as what turned her into a WWE legend.

4. Bayley is the best Horsewoman

Becky Lynch has more notoriety outside of the WWE, Charlotte Flair may have more world title reigns, and Sasha Banks has gone on to be in Star Wars projects. But Bayley is the better WWE superstar by a mile.

Let’s look at the facts. She’s the woman’s first grand slam winner. Whenever someone needs a boost in their career, they go to her (more on that later). She’s also the only woman to have a talk show segment in the WWE. And, if we’re being honest, she’s a better in-ring performer.
