5 Female WWE Superstars who could win the men's world titles

This weekend Impact Wrestling became the first major wrestling promotion to crown a woman as their official world championship when Tessa Blanchard defeated Sami Callihan after eight months of build-up to become, not the Knockouts Champion, but the Impact World Champion.

But if Impact can do it, why can't WWE? They have already set a precedent for intergender matches to some extent, albeit not so much in modern times. However, we have seen female and male talent clash in a WWE ring and we've even seen a female wrestler win one the male-orientated belts when Chyna won the Intercontinental Title.

So, if WWE were to attempt a similar storyline to the one that Impact did with Tess Blanchard proving she was worthy of competing in the men's division and being the company's champion, and not just their female champion, which female Superstars would be a good fit?

Well, here are five female WWE Superstars who could win the men's world titles and would be believable in doing so as well.

#5 Becky Lynch

We'll start with one of the more obvious names. The Man, Becky Lynch has become one of WWE's top Superstars, not just in the women's division, but in general, since she become the first woman to win a WrestleMania main event match.

She was 'The Champ Champ' holding both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Titles at the same time and she's defeated the likes of Lacey Evans, Ronda Rousey (at 'Mania) and Charlotte Flair to remain RAW Women's Champion almost nine month's later.

Given her level of star power, her prodigious submission technique and ability, her bad-ass attitude and her penchant for breaking records, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to see Becky Lynch starting to dominate the men's division.

Who knows, if she does decide she wants the WWE or Universal Title perhaps we'll eventually get a WrestleMania main event between her and real-life partner Seth Rollins where she becomes the first woman to main event a WrestleMania against a man, against their partner and the first woman to win a man's world title in WWE.

#4 Shayna Baszler

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that the thought that I'd ever end up in a situation where I personally would have to fight Shayna Baszler is an actual terrifying one. I mean, I wouldn't win in a fight against any WWE Superstar, but Baszler would demolish me.

Not only is she one of the most successful NXT Women's Champions in the brand's history, she's also extremely skilled in combat sports, is a former MMA star and also happens to be particularly mean about it. I wouldn't stand a chance.

And, I'm willing to go out on a limb and suggest that there are several male members of the WWE roster who also wouldn't stand a chance in a shoot fight against Baszler. I'll go even further and say that I'd wager there aren't many men that Baszler wouldn't have a shot at beating in a wrestling match, if any.

Sure, she hasn't won the RAW or SmackDown Women's Titles yet, but I'm confident that if she wanted to, Baszler could easily pick up the WWE or Universal Title.

#3 Nia Jax

Nia Jax may currently be on the sidelines recovering but it's worth remembering that not long before her injury forced her out, Jax was terrorising several of the top stars in WWE's male division and looked comfortable doing so.

Jax became one of only a handful of women to enter the Men's Royal Rumble match and even dominated it, forcing three of WWE's top Superstars Randy Orton, Dolph Zigger and Rey Mysterio to team-up to take her out.

Jax then had a number of physical altercations with Dean Ambrose during which she humiliated the former Shield stable member and current AEW star. Now, I'm not saying this is the case at all, but there are some that say that Jax chased Ambrose out of WWE, he was that scared of her.

Basically what I'm saying is that Nia Jax is a formidable opponent for anyone, man or woman, and when she returns she could absolutely attempt to become the next WWE or Universal Champion, and would in all likelihood be successful doing so.

#2 Ronda Rousey

I've already added one former MMA star to my list in Shayna Baszler so throwing one more in certainly isn't going to hurt at all. And who could be more deserving than 'The Baddest Woman On The Planet' Ronda Rousey?

This women single-handedly made the female side of MMA popular and is a multiple time champion in the mixed-martial arts field. Then there's her WWE run where she steamrolled through the WWE division, man-handled Kurt Angle and Triple H and won the RAW Women's Title.

Rousey may be spending time away from WWE at the moment to focus on starting a family and pursue other projects but if you think for one second she won't return when she's ready and destroy every man in WWE until she's a world champion simply because she wants to then you've got another thing coming!

At the very least I'm ready to have a conversation about Ronda Rousey Vs Triple H Loser Leaves WWE match. I think deep down we all know who would win that one as well!

#1 Bayley

I could've gone for Charlotte Flair here but instead, I've opted for the current SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley as my final pick for a female WWE Superstar who could win the men's world title belts in WWE.

Why, you ask? Not only is Bayley one of the Four Horsewomen of WWE, a multiple time world champion and currently part of an incredibly dominant duo alongside Sasha Banks in SmackDown, but she might be pound-for-pound one of the strongest Superstars in WWE.

Bayley often posts videos of her working out and training and often she lifts weights and she genuinely makes it look easy. I'm confident that when it comes to lifting weights that Bayley will be on a par, or better than, a fair few of WWE's men.

And that's exactly why she could lift her way to the WWE or Universal Title with relative ease. Especially if she still has loyal Sasha Banks by her side

And that concludes the list! Now, obviously there are many other talented women I didn't mention and I know that wrestling isn't a real sport and that if the booking calls for it anyone can beat anyone (got to give the men a chance somehow!)

But which women in WWE would you like to potentially see follow in Tessa Blanchard's footsteps and win either the WWE or Universal Title?

An unexpected name just challenged Randy Orton RIGHT HERE.
