10 Current NXT Stars Who Will Struggle On WWE's Main Roster

8. Shayna Baszler

This selection is primarily based on the fact that Ronda Rousey has recently filled the vacancy in WWE's female division for a no-nonsense former UFC star looking to move into the world of professional wrestling.

It's possible that two people could perform this function at once, but it seems somehow unlikely. Can you imagine how badly Bobby Lashley would have struggled if he was coming through at exactly the same time as Brock Lesnar?

While Baszler, who unsuccessfully challenged Ember Moon for the NXT Women's Title at TakeOver: Philadelphia, currently has more experience in the squared circle, there is little doubt about which of them Triple H and co would choose to hedge their bets on.

Even if she isn't squeezed out of contention by Rousey, the women's ranks - thanks to some rapid expansion over recent months - are now more competitive than ever. There are bound to be a handful of NXT casualties from that, and Baszler could be one of them.
