This year’s edition is dominated by WWE stars claiming the top 5 spots. Bayley and Sasha Banks appear on the cover together, with Bayley ranking #1, and Banks ranking #5.
The evaluation period for this list is October 1, 2019, through September 30, 2019. The publication gave “special consideration to the momentum athletes had prior to the COVID-19 shutdown”
Criteria for PWI Women’s 100
- Championships Won
- Quality Of Opposition
- Technical Proficiency
- Win-Loss Records
- Overall Activity
- Momentum/Promotional “Push”
Bayley is interviewed in the issue, speaking on a number of topics, including having the honor of ranking #1 in this year’s list.
“It’s obvious I made a major change late last year. And everybody kind of thought it was going to fail. They thought I made the wrong decision, or that I couldn’t pull it off.” An I think I’ve proved everyone wrong, especially in the craziness that has been going on with the pandemic and not performing in front of fans, which makes everything way harder.”
