WWE Superstar Bayley Tops “PWI” Women’s 100 List

This year, Pro Wrestling Illustrated has chosen WWE’s very own Bayley (Pamela Rose Martinez), for the number one spot on their annual PWI Women’s 100 list.

PWI made the announcement on Twitter Thursday morning, unveiling the cover of their January 2021 issue featuring Martinez and her current nemesis Sasha Banks. Fellow WWE Superstars Becky Lynch (2), Asuka (3) and Charlotte (4) were placed in the top five spots of the PWI Women’s 100 list.

PWI noted the difficulty of compiling their latest Women’s 100 rankings in a separate tweet. “This was, bar none, our most competitive Women’s 100 list to date. Congrats to all the wrestlers who, through their talent and hard work, made it onto this year’s list!”

Various women wrestlers, such as All Elite Wrestling’s Nyla Rose (16), Impact Wrestling’s Susie (44), a number of other WWE wrestlers including Rhea Ripley (11), Shayna Baszler (13), Bianca Belair (23) and Alexa Bliss (27) and many other known names and up-and-comers within the international wrestling community are also recognized by PWI.
