#3 Bayley’s Rings of Saturn

Bayley is best known for her character’s sunny disposition and being awfully affectionate for a wrestler, as she proudly professes herself to be The Hugger. As such, it makes sense that even her signature Bayley To Belly starts with a hug.

Bayley’s persona doesn’t necessarily feel like a natural fit for a professional wrestler, but she’s a fighter, too, whose underdog spirit has long helped her connect with fans. That was especially the case in NXT where she was ultimately cast as the arch-rival to arrogant heel champion Sasha Banks.

After a seemingly climactic showdown at the original TakeOver: Brooklyn special, the two had one last curtain call for their rivalry before Banks moved up to the main roster full time. At TakeOver: Respect, they became the first women to main event a TakeOver with an Iron Woman Match.

It all culminated in Bayley maneuvering Banks into a modified Rings Of Saturn position, only to accent it with kicks to the back of her opponent’s head to garner the deciding submission at the end of regulation.

The hold remains one that Bayley could conceivably bust out, despite not yet showing any signs of it in her main roster run.
