Bayley debuted on the NXT scene in July 2013, and although it took time for her to build a fan following, it wasn't long until she started to capture the hearts of everyone at Full Sail University through her adorable antics. Her passion for pro wrestling shined through, and fans being able to relate to her was what helped her connect with the crowd so easily.

She came up short of winning the NXT Women's Championship on countless occasions before finally taking the title from Banks at TakeOver: Brooklyn in August 2015. Her championship chase culminated that night in one of the best bouts and most monumental moments of the last decade.
Of course, she was main roster ready even then, but in the absence of Charlotte, Bayley, and Lynch, she took the reins of NXT's women's division and helped the inexperienced likes of Alexa Bless, Nia Jax, Carmella and Eva Marie improve every aspect of their game.
Once she passed the torch (and title) to Asuka at TakeOver: Dallas in April, it was apparent she was Raw bound, but it was merely a matter of proper timing. For example, it would have been foolish to debut her on the flagship show immediately after WrestleMania 32 when Charlotte's reign as WWE Women's champion was just getting underway, and without doing the title rematch with Asuka first.
