It would've come as a slight shock had ex-NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler not made the roster and fresher faces like Bianca Belair had.

Baszler was utterly dominant during her 133 day-reign as champ, and she comes armed with a legit MMA background that gives her some serious credibility. No prizes for guessing which fellow former UFC competitor some will be matching Shayna up against when they get 2K19. More on that later.

Baszler has transitioned well from elite fighting to pro wrestling since making the leap in 2015. She deserves this opportunity to star in a first-ever video game.
