​
Long before she was a Raw Superstar, Bayley was a 10-year-old superfan in San Jose, Calif., watching her favorites like Lita on TV. She decided then that she wanted to inspire fans the same way the Superstars of the ’90s and early ’00s did for her. When she turned 18, Bayley started to train for the squared circle, and after learning the ropes on the indies in 2012, she joined NXT’s burgeoning Women’s division.
She quickly inspired young ladies to wear side ponytails and grown men to embrace hugs. In 2015, she competed in the first 30-minute WWE Iron Man Match featuring two female competitors, defeating Banks to retain the NXT Women’s Championship and setting a new standard for the Women’s divisions in WWE. She then went on to have classic showdowns against Asuka and Nia Jax before debuting on Raw on the night after SummerSlam 2016.
​
On Feb. 13, 2017, Bayley achieved a lifelong dream when she defeated Charlotte to win her first Raw Women's Championship, and two years later, she made history alongside Sasha Banks when they became the first WWE Women's Tag Team Champions by capturing the titles in an Elimination Chamber Match.
​
Bayley then moved to SmackDown LIVE in the 2019 Superstar Shake-up and immediately began mixing it up with the likes of Flair and Lynch. She even won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and cashed it in to defeat Charlotte for the SmackDown Women's Title on the same night.
​
In Oct 2019 Bayley made her entrance with a cold new look in her eyes, produced an axe and slashed her beloved Bayley buddies to bits. The former Hugger turned her back on those who adored her and used her newfound edge to reclaim the championship from The Queen

When she turned 18, Bayley started to train for the squared circle, and after learning the ropes on the indies in 2012, she joined NXT’s burgeoning Women’s division. But she didn’t mirror Charlotte’s confidence, Sasha Banks’ swagger or Becky Lynch’s toughness. Instead, Bayley had an ever-present smile and an overwhelming enthusiasm that made it impossible to root against her.

She didn't hold the championship for long, however, and she had a major surprise up her sleeve for the WWE Universe during a title rematch on SmackDown. Bayley made her entrance with a cold new look in her eyes, produced an axe and slashed her beloved Bayley buddies to bits. The former Hugger turned her back on those who adored her and used her newfound edge to reclaim the championship from The Queen, and now that she is once again fighting alongside Sasha Banks, Bayley looks primed to rule the blue brand for a very long time.
