Bayley has lifted the WWE Women’s Championship.

A heavy favourite heading into WrestleMania weekend, ‘The Role Model’ withstood a barrage of offence from her ex-Damage CTRL stablemate IYO SKY, including an Over The Moon-sault. A series of finishers that Bayley has used throughout her career - the Bayley to Belly, the Randy Savage-inspired top-rope Elbow Drop, and the Rose Plant - left Bayley standing tall as WWE Women’s Champion.

The win brought IYO SKY’s reign to an end at 247 days. She had held the title since SummerSlam 2023, where she toppled newly-crowned champion Bianca Belair by cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase. This marked the Japanese sensation’s first main roster championship victory in WWE; she had previously held the NXT Women’s Championship once and won the 2022 women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with Alba Fyre.

Bayley’s WWE Title History, Explained

Bayley, 34, signed with WWE in December 2012 and has held seven championships along the way.

Her first came in August 2015 when, in a seminal classic at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, Bayley defeated fellow Four Horsewomen Sasha Banks to lift the NXT Women’s Championship. A run as Raw Women’s Champion followed in February 2017, where she felled Charlotte Flair on the pre-Valentine’s Day Raw, while the Women’s Tag Team Championships followed her and Sasha Banks two years later. Together, they were crowned the inaugural champions at the 2019 Elimination Chamber.

Turning heel in late 2019, Bayley added two reigns as SmackDown Women’s Champion and a second with the women’s doubles titles to her trophy cabinet. Now, she joined Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks in holding the title more than once.
