#8. Nia Jax (Paid $280,000 by WWE)
Trending
One of the most powerful women in all of WWE has grabbed the spotlight on her own despite being The Rock’s cousin. This makes Nia Jax’s rise even more admirable.
She debuted on NXT in 2015 under the name Zada, but her name was soon changed to Nia Jax. Within a year, she was drafted to WWE RAW. Jax has won the RAW Women’s Championship once and the Women’s Tag Team Championship twice with Shayna Baszler.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
With her strength that “can hurt people whether she knows it or not,” The Irresistible Force is truly an imposing personality. It was only a matter of time before her tag team run ended and she was thrust back into singles action.
Nia Jax was last seen on RAW when she was attacked by Baszler after they lost the tag team titles. She has been ruled out indefinitely after sustaining injuries. Hopefully, she’ll return as a face and rekindle her rivalry with Baszler soon.
#7. Natalya (Paid $300,000 by WWE)
The first ever third-generation female superstar is currently the only member of the legendary Hart Foundation in WWE.
Natalya is the first woman to hold both the Divas Championship and the SmackDown Women’s Championship after winning the latter by defeating Naomi on SummerSlam in 2010. She and Lacey Evans also created history by competing in the first women’s match in Saudi Arabia.
Natalya and her partner Tamina held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship for a record 129 days before dropping it to Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley. A few episodes later, Natalya lost in the first round of the Queen’s Crown tournament to Doudrop.
#6. Bayley (Paid $350,000 by WWE)
She may currently be out of action, but The Role Model is one of the most charismatic superstars in WWE.
Bayley debuted on NXT in 2013 before moving to the main roster in 2016. She started off as an affable face, but truly came into her own when she turned heel in 2019. It was shocking - remember how many young girls cried when she burst her Bayley Buddies? - but it led to the evolution of an amazing character.
The Role Model was the first women’s Grand Slam winner in WWE. She was the first woman to defend a title in Saudi Arabia, and holds the record for longest-reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Bayley was one of the few superstars to carry WWE through the Thunderdome Era. She’s currently recovering from an ACL injury and hopefully will return to in-ring action soon.
