It pretty likely at this point that former NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler will make her Royal Rumble match debut this Sunday. Baszler had a dominant run as NXT Women's Champion until she was dethroned late last year by Rhea Ripley on the December 18th episode of WWE NXT.

Baszler has already proved herself to be a top level talent and is ready to take the main roster by storm. She will be looking to match the success of her close friend Ronda Rousey who co-main evented WrestleMania 34.


#1 Tommaso Ciampa

One NXT star who has no intention of coming to RAW or SmackDown anytime soon is former NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa has spoken about wanting to stay in the black and yellow brand in the past and with NXT on live television now, there's no need for him to either.

However, with NXT lagging behind AEW Dynamite in the ratings war, showcasing him in the Royal Rumble match could be a way to get mainstream fans interested in him and then tune into NXT on Wednesday nights.
