Top 10 Female Wrestlers Of The Decade

#5 Bayley

Bayley

The first of the famed Four Horsewomen of NXT, Bayley's inclusion so high on the top ten may be hotly debated.

2015 presented a breakout year for Bayley, where she began to stand out as one of the best in the entire industry. Her rivalry and subsequent matches with good friend Sasha Banks helped define both herself and NXT as a whole.

The battles between the pair at both NXT Takeover: Brooklyn and NXT Takeover: Respect rank highly as two of the greatest matches in both the Black and Gold brand and wrestling as a whole across the decade.

Throughout the next year on NXT, she continued to have top drawer matches with stars such as Nia Jax and Asuka before moving on to the main roster.

Initial reaction to Bayley was as strong as any of her fellow Horsewomen, something highlighted when WWE travelled to Glasgow in late-2016.

Some may argue that the company has let her down at times in how they present her character, fuelling the questions as to her inclusion over others on this list.

To me, her achievements in the last 12 months just tip it. This includes her win alongside Banks to become the first ever WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, plus her victories in the Women's Money In The Bank match and later SmackDown Women's Championship reigns.
