Even her rivals and peers have the utmost respect for her.

A lifelong fan of the sport, Pamela Rose Martinez always flirted with the idea of wrestling.

She spent years cutting her teeth in Big Time, hoping to one day make it to the WWE.

By late 2012, Bayley was called up to NXT, a developmental league where female wrestlers hone their skills before making the jump to the WWE.

Her undeniable talent took her all the way to the NXT championship, which she won from… Sasha Banks.

How do you want to be remembered?

When Bayley entered the arena at WWE’s Battleground, the audience lost its mind.

Sasha Banks, who is now the WWE women’s champ, and Bayley put their past rivalry aside to bring home the victory.
