10 WWE Superstars Set For A Big Push Following WrestleMania 34

1. Ronda Rousey

In a bout widely hailed as perhaps the greatest debut match in wrestling history, Ronda Rousey stunned the world at WrestleMania 34. Whether locking Stephanie McMahon in armbars or hoisting Triple H onto her shoulders, she looked like a natural, and while her work wasn't without rough edges, all the awkward promos and smiley sign-pointing leading into the event now seem a million miles away.

All fears have been alleviated. Rousey gets professional wrestling, and she's already WWE's biggest crossover star. At 'Mania, she looked every bit the 'Baddest Woman On The Planet' she has been billed as, recapturing the aura of intimidation once considered dead by Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes' hands within WWE's simulated environment.

Ronda's in-ring introduction couldn't have gone any better, and now, there must be no trepidation in pushing her all the way to the top. Her performance is a godsend for WWE, as she's a ready-made megastar in an era largely devoid of them. It won't be long before she's one of the company's centrepieces, and fans should expect her emergence to create another surge for the Women's Revolution, with everyone she works with benefitting from Rousey's massive spotlight.
