8 Current WWE Women Superstars Who Wrestled For Shimmer Wrestling

Bayley as Davina Rose

Long before she was WWE's resident "Huggable One", before the side ponytails and inflatable friends, Bayley was known as Davina Rose on the independent wrestling circuit. Rose made her debut for Shimmer Women Athletes in October of 2011, where she got the chance to work with her mentor Serena Deeb.

Throughout the remainder of 2011 and into 2012 she worked matches with Mercedes Martinez, Mia Yim, Cherry Bomb and Melanie Cruise in addition to her work with Serena. Though she went on an extensive losing streak, including her debut match, Rose eventually found her footing, and some wins, in 2012. However, by December of that year rumors were swirling that Rose had signed a contract with the WWE.

The rumors were quickly answered when she left Shimmer in early 2013 and made her debut appearance at an NXT live event in January of 2013. Shortly thereafter she made her televised debut against Paige, where she officially became Bayley. She would eventually capture the NXT Women's Championship as well as the RAW Women's Championship after her move to the main roster.
