The cover reveals the top five is rounded out with Becky Lynch, Asuka, Charlotte Falir and Sasha Banks in that order. The next five are Hikaru Shida, Tessa Blanchard, Riho, Io Shirai and Mayu Iwatani.
Lynch was the No. 1 ranked women’s wrestler last year. Lynch’s absence from Raw has allowed for Asuka to thrive to solidify her spot as one of the top professional wrestlers in the world.
Bayley is closing in on 500 days as SmackDown Women’s Champion and will defend the title against Sasah Banks at Hell in a Cell on October 25, 2020. She reacted to the news on Twitter:
