5 Best Former Versions of Current WWE Stars

#1 Uber Babyface Bayley

This one's a lost cause, because no matter the amount of reboots Bayley may never capture the love and adulation to the level she once had. Bayley at one point in NXT was so popular, it seemed fans would never grow tired of her.

The stench of apathy reverberates through her entrance to matches these days. It's absolutely sad. Especially when one considers that she could have been the next big face for the WWE. That would be a true evolution of the company and for the women's wrestlers.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Bayley in her NXT incarnation up to her initial days in WWE evolved from the underdog fan to spirited fighter of right. She parlayed great character and promo work from this yet now when fans speak of her they more often than not criticize her staleness and lack of promo skills. It's simply sad that WWE's constant breakdown of Bayley has resulted in her being nothing but another warm body in the roster.
