Predicted Title(s): SmackDown Women's.

Someone who's definitely in mind for a promotion is MMA arse-kicker Shayna Baszler.

Baszler is the current NXT Women's Champion, and she'll probs lose that before making her way to Raw or SmackDown. That's easily done; Kairi Sane and Io Shirai would both be fine replacements, and Sane has developed enough bad blood with Shayna that seeing her run the champ out of NXT would be good fun.

The smart money is on Baszler making her way to SmackDown so she's kept as far away from fellow former UFC threat Ronda Rousey. There's money there if WWE play their cards right, but it'd be wise to sit on that kind of match for a while. It's not like there's any rush, and Shayna needs some more credibility with main roster fans first.

What better way to give her credibility than by capturing the SmackDown Women's Title? Baszler brings a sizeable presence with her in NXT, and it'd be so, so sweet to see that replicated on Tuesday nights where pure wrestling and competition is often more of a concern than it is on Raw.
