It remained to be seen if Bayley would reach the heights that her Four Horsewomen counterparts Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch would have in WWE. She certainly has as she has made a name for herself in WWE after she became a permanent fixture on the main roster in 2016. Bayley is a history-maker as she is the first woman in WWE history to become a Grand Slam Champion which is an incredible achievement.
Bayley has done great work in WWE as a babyface and as a heel, and she won championships in both roles. Bayley has competed in several gimmick matches throughout her championship reigns, and she has proved that she is one of the best wrestlers that WWE has at its disposal. At the time of writing in June 2022, Bayley is still on the shelf with an injury, but once she returns to WWE, she will add to her six championship reigns.
6 WWE Women's Tag Team Championship - First Reign (2019)
It was a no-brainer to make Bayley and Sasha Banks the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. They were close friends and had chemistry. Moreover, Bayley and Sasha prevailed in an Elimination Chamber match at the 2019 Elimination Chamber event to take home the titles. There was room for improvement in their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship reign as they only held the title for 49 days.
They successfully defended the titles against Nia Jax and Tamina in their lone successful title defense at Fastlane. At WrestleMania 35, they dropped the titles to the Ilconics in a fatal-4-way tag team match that included Beth Phoenix and Natalya, and Nia Jax and Tamina. Provided they held the titles for longer, Bayley and Sasha could have made the titles into something special.
5 Raw Women's Championship (2017)
Fans were pleased to see Bayley finally winning a championship on the main roster. She stood up to Charlotte Flair, and she defeated her for the Raw Women's Championship on the February 13, 2017, edition of Raw. Bayley proved that her title reign wasn't going to end quickly as she ended Charlotte's unbeaten pay-per-view record in one-on-one title matches at Fastlane.
Bayley walked into her maiden WrestleMania at WrestleMania 33 as the Raw Women's Champion in a fatal-4-way elimination match with Charlotte, Nia Jax, and Sasha Banks. Again, Bayley got the better of Charlotte to keep a hold of her Raw Women's Championship. Bayley's Raw Women's Championship reign lasted 75 days, and Alexa Bliss beat her for the title in front of Bayley's hometown fans in San Jose, California to make history as the first woman to win both the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships.
4 SmackDown Women's Championship - First Reign (2019)
Bayley wasted no time in cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase at Money in the Bank 2019. On the same night, Bayley ended Charlotte's SmackDown Women's Championship reign. It was a historical win for Bayley as she made history as the first female Grand Slam Champion in WWE history.
During her title reign, Bayley turned heel for the first time in her WWE career. She was a fighting champion and all of her title defenses were on pay-per-view. The likes of Alexa Bliss, Nikki Cross, Ember Moon, and Charlotte were defeated by Bayley. However, Charlotte regained the SmackDown Women's Championship from Bayley at Hell in a Cell. Bayley held the title for 140 days, and that was a precursor of things to come.
3 WWE Women's Tag Team Championship - Second Reign (2020)
The MVPs of the COVID-19 pandemic era were Bayley and Sasha Banks. Bayley was in the midst of her second SmackDown Women's Championship reign, and she became a double champion for the first time in her WWE career. Bayley and Sasha became two-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champions when they halted Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross' Women's Tag Team Championship reign in May 2020.
Bayley and Sasha dubbed themselves as the Golden Role Models as Sasha held the Raw Women's Championship for a month. They were fighting champions as they defended their titles on Raw, NXT, and pay-per-view. Cracks began to show in their partnership as they lost the titles to Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler at Payback, and they failed to regain the titles in a rematch.
2 NXT Women's Championship (2015-16)
Before Bayley could join her Four Horsewomen counterparts on the main roster, she had unfinished business in NXT. After a few near misses, Bayley finally clinched the NXT Women's Championship when she defeated Sasha Banks at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn in August 2015.
They hit a home run in that match and their 30-minute Iron Woman Match at NXT TakeOver: Respect is one of the best women's matches in the history of professional wrestling. Moreover, Bayley's 223-day run as NXT Women's Champion was spectacular with wins over the likes of Alexa Bliss, Carmella, Eva Marie, and Nia Jax. It came as no surprise to many when Asuka dethroned her for the title at NXT TakeOver: Dallas in April 2016.
1 SmackDown Women's Championship - Second Reign (2019-20)
No-one could have expected Bayley to hold the SmackDown Women's Championship for a record 380 days but she thoroughly deserved it. The Role Model had to be incredibly patient for her moment, and she took the ball and ran with it. Bayley recaptured the SmackDown Women's Championship from Charlotte on the October 4, 2019 edition of SmackDown.
New music and short hair went hand-in-hand for Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship reign. She outlasted the likes of Asuka, Naomi, Nikki Cross, Sasha Banks among others in her brilliant championship run. Bayley was consistent, and the majority of her title reign was behind closed doors in the COVID-19 pandemic. Bayley made history with Naomi as they were the first pair of women to slug it out for a championship in Saudi Arabia. Bayley almost held the SmackDown Women's Championship for a calendar year, but the Boss ended her record-breaking SmackDown Women's Championship reign inside Hell in a Cell.
