At first, this article had current NXT Women's Champ Shayna Baszler heading towards SmackDown. What changed then? In a word: Raw. Watch Shayna work and you couldn't fail to notice that 'Raw' is exactly what she is. Baszler is a bruiser on the level of Ronda Rousey, only she's adapted to WWE's brand of wrestling a little better.

If Ronda is going bye-bye after WrestleMania 35, then Shayna could slot right in.

Even if Rousey sticks around, this is a must. There's still that 'Four Horsewomen vs. Four Horsewomen' match to promote, and a tasty, vicious breakdown in communication between both ex-UFC maulers could result in another pearler of a feud there too. The possibilities, Ronda team/feud or not, are pretty endless.

Baszler is the dominating alpha female character Nia Jax and Tamina wish they were, and she doesn't need the size to be it. Instead, Shayna's a snarling hellhound of a worker who's shown a remarkable willingness to learn pro wrestling.
