7. Ronda Rousey

The cracks in Ronda Rousey's performances sometimes show when she's asked to deliver an overlong talking segment (and in her awful, awful Twitter game), but the way WWE have presented her has been consistently excellent from the moment she started sparring with Stephanie McMahon ahead of WrestleMania 34, and she's in a strong position heading into 'Mania 35.

Attempting to paint Rousey as a white-meat babyface while working with the white-hot Becky Lynch wouldn't work. Instead of doing that, WWE aren't trying to force her alignment. Like 'The Man,' 'The Baddest Woman On The Planet' is drifting through the traditional lines, drawing a mixed reaction somewhere between Lynch and her other 'Mania opponent, Charlotte Flair. It's good stuff, and will continue paying dividends ahead of what should be the first women's match to close the year's biggest show.

Rousey's in-ring dominance is entirely appropriate, too. She's a trailblazing former mixed martial artist and the biggest mainstream star in the company, so she should be destroying all who step in her path, leading to that one big moment when she's finally knocked from her perch. That would happen with Lynch at 'Mania.
