#3 Bayley
The current SmackDown Women's Champion was one of the leading names of NXT. Before signing for NXT, the Hugger had experience in the independent circuit. Bayley signed for NXT in 2012 and quickly climbed the top of the ladder.
Due to her dexterity in the squared circle, Bayley was a favourite Superstar of the NXT Universe. She failed to grab the NXT Women's Title after several attempts. The current SmackDown Women's Champion had great feuds with Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Emma and many more.
