Ranking EVERY WWE Superstar's 2018 From Worst To Best

2. Ronda Rousey

'The Baddest Woman On The Planet' had the greatest rookie year in the WWE Universe since Kurt Angles iconic inaugural annum.

Unnaturally well-adjusted to the beats of Sports Entertainment in her electric WrestleMania debut, Rousey proved time and time again how little she needed the expert engineering that went into that particular match. She can sell, she can bump, she can fight and she can fly - only the weight of increased expectation is perhaps strong enough to stop her 2019 being just as prosperous.
