#2 Former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley

Bayley
It could well be argued that in 2020, Bayley was WWE's strongest booked champion. Bayley's first reign as SmackDown Women's Champion lasted about 140 days, indicating the fact that she initially cemented her place as the blue brand's top female Superstar.

However, after dropping the title to Charlotte Flair at last year's Hell in a Cell, Bayley underwent a massive change in character, switched up her look, and WWE finally invested in her heel turn.
Shortly after regaining the title from Charlotte, Bayley's historic 380-day reign as champion finally began. While defending her title left, right, and center against the likes of Nikki Cross, Lacey Evans, and Naomi, Bayley even added the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship to her resume alongside her former best friend, Sasha Banks.
As a double champion, Bayley dominated the women's division. Dropping the SmackDown Women's title to Sasha Banks, of all people, inside a Hell in a Cell can surely be labeled as a poetic finish to an iconic reign.
