It'd be one of the most counterproductive booking decisions in recent memory if Ronda Rousey scored a win over Shayna Baszler on her way out of WWE. Heading through the exit doors and holding up a middle finger on the way out appears to be Ronda's destiny post-SummerSlam, so it's vital she does the honours for her pal.

WWE's recently-announced "MMA Rules" add-on gives them the perfect chance to make Shayna look like the new baddest woman on the planet overnight. No submissions are necessary here - Baszler should knock Ronda the hell out, then watch as she's helped out by medics.

What a killer moment that'd be.

Shayna's main roster career has been riddled with misstep after misstep since the start. Somehow, despite all of those mistakes, she could still be turned into something special. Landing a knockout shot on Rousey and boasting about it sounds like a decent way to go about things.
