7. Shayna Baszler

Last Time We Saw Them: This past week on NXT. There, the only two-time NXT Women's Champion interfered in a tag-team match (Aliyah and Vanessa Borne vs. Kacy Catanzaro and Lacey Lane) with her MMA pals Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir. Baszler is a shoe-in to make the main roster eventually, and she might not be alone.

Why They'd Debut: Say Ronda Rousey does decide to take some time off from WWE and pursue other projects, and say WWE aren't ready to let her UFC-style bad bitch goodness disappear from TV completely. If that's the case, then Shayna and friends would be the ideal tonic to ease company worries.

Baszler has been ready for a while now. Her matches against Kairi Sane and others on NXT programming have been top notch, and she has a legitimacy to her performances that'd fill any gaping hole left by Rousey. She doesn't have the star power Ronda does, but that's WWE's problem to solve.
