2. Joanna Champion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWOtPWatRIY Joanna Champion comes with a ready-made stage name, especially since Joanna Jedrzejczyk, her real name, is something of a stumbling block, pronunciation-wise, in the west. That said, her quirky personality and intense stare-downs lend itself perfectly to the world of professional wrestling, and while small in size, she would be no worse off than someone like A.J. Lee in that department. Coupled with her credentials as one of the best strikers in the UFC (frankly of either gender), and the fact that she is the current strawweight champion, if she were ever to leave the UFC, the WWE could definitely be a destination. She'd also probably be a lock to be in some sort of European faction. Though Polish, you could either pair her up with someone like Rusev (much as you could Albu), or have her align with Cesaro or someone similar and elevate his profile. While Joanna isn't as well known as Rousey, she's about to get a huge push thanks to "Rowdy" as she will co-headline UFC 193, which features Rousey vs. Holly Holm in the headliner.
