Ronda Rousey might be the face of women's Mixed Martial Arts, but Shayna Baszler was doing it first and has more career fights under her belt than the Rowdy One. Baszler has fought all over the world in both MMA and pro wrestling and came within a hair's breadth of winning the inaugural Mae Young Classic as well as being a two-time NXT Women's Champion.
Matt Riddle was a competitor on the Ultimate Fighter reality series, and eventually landed a contract with the UFC. Fired by Dana White for recreational use of the profoundly popular herb marijuana, Riddle transitioned to pro wrestling quite smoothly, with a grace that belies his short number of years in the sport.
The Original Bro vs. the Queen of Spades would make an excellent, smash mouth, hard hitting bout that blurs the lines between pro wrestling and MMA. Both athletes are accomplished strikers, grapplers, and submission artists.
Riddle might have a slight edge in strength, but Baszler has the edge in experience. This match could go either way, but factor in the outside interference from the Four Horsewomen and we see Riddle taking the fall.
