Bayley can be the biggest babyface WWE Women's Division has ever seen

Bayley was the face of NXT

The evolution of WWE's women's division is well-documented, going from tasteless Bras and Panties matches and meaningless bikini contests no more than a decade ago to competitive contests that steal the show more often than not.

 

But through it all, one thing has remained consistent: the WWE has never had a prominent babyface women's wrestler leading the division.

 

Miss Elizabeth was the closest the company came to featuring a woman that was universally loved by everyone, but she rarely wrestled a match in WWE, if ever. Trish Stratus and Lita were iconic characters during the Attitude Era and throughout the mid-2000s, but they were more shades-of-gray than anything else, and both were better heels.

 

And then there was Mickie James, who was immensely popular from 2007 to 2010. Lest we forget her roots, however, as a psycho stalker in 2005 and 2006. She was infinitely more interesting as Stratus' No. 1 fan than she ever was in the remainder of her run with WWE.
