#1 Bayley could have been called Davia
Fans of independent wrestling may remember Bayley from her pre-WWE days when she competed as Davina Rose for promotions such as Big Time Wrestling, Shine and Shimmer between 2008 and 2012.

As is often the case when somebody joins WWE, the company would not allow her to perform as Davina in NXT and asked her to come up with a list of alternative names.

The former Raw Women’s champion revealed on Talk Is Jericho that she wanted a singular name like Bobby or Jordan and that she didn’t want a name that was “super girly”.
She was then given a choice of three names – one of which being Davia, which she hated – before she agreed to use the name Bailey, only with the spelling changed to ‘Bayley’ because she’s from the Bay Area.
