3 Superstars who can dethrone Ronda Rousey as the Raw Women’s Champion

Can any woman match her power?

The former UFC champion arrived in the WWE in 2018 with a bang and has left a permanent mark on the company already. She’s already registered some of the most iconic moments in the WWE in 2018 and is well on her way to having a headlining 2019.

She lifted Triple H with ease on multiple occasions in order to display her unmatched power at WrestleMania 34. At SummerSlam, she beat Alexa Bliss to win the Raw Women’s Title with ease and has since displayed how it would be almost impossible for any other wrestler to beat her to take her title away.

CNET has already stated that "for the first time, [WWE's] biggest mainstream star is a woman." That says a lot about the impact the UFC alumni has made since her entrance into the WWE.

With that said, one day or the other the WWE will have to take the title away from Rousey and put it on another superstar. The WWE Universe is not ready for another title-run like Brock Lesnar’s, and therefore it’s necessary for the WWE to build good storylines around the champion.

There are only a few women in the WWE who can convincingly beat Ronda Rousey and take the championship away from her. Let’s take a look at three women on who might stand a chance against the baddest woman on the Planet, and sell a convincing victory over the champion.


#3 Shayna Baszler

Ronda Rousey may be the baddest woman on the Planet, but Shayna Baszler was the baddest woman in the WWE before Rousey arrived. Baszler can be called the female Brock Lesnar of the WWE since she is as powerful, as intimidating, and as much a beast.

Baszler arrived on NXT in 2017, and by 2018, she was already NXT’s Women’s champion thanks to her unforgiving ruthlessness in matches. She held the title for 133 days before eventually dropping it to Kairi Sane.

Baszler will be moved up to the main roster sooner than later, and it’s very possible that she will be moved to the red brand as many of WWE’s stars are raised on its flagship brand. Shayna Baszler is one woman who can take down the virtually undefeatable Raw Champion since both are masters of the Mixed Martial Arts.

#2 Nia Jax

Nia Jax as a babyface is nothing more than eye-candy on Raw. Nia Jax as a heel is a force to reckon with. She is one of the handful of women in the WWE who can match the power and dominance that Rousey has displayed.

Turn Nia Jax heel for a significant amount of time and put her in pursuit of the title, and the fans will root for her as much as they root for Ronda Rousey. Fans will soon get tired of Ronda Rousey’s dominance and want someone to match her in the ring, and Jax is one established superstar who can surely do that if booked right.

#1 Dana Brooke

Dana Brooke has been broken by the WWE. She was underused and then paired up with Titus O’Neil and Apollo to form Titus Worldwide. The potential of the trio was soon killed by the creatives and they were barely a group of passable jobbers on the Raw brand.

Now that Dana Brooke is free from the shackles of Titus Worldwide, the creatives can start afresh and use her to her full potential.

The former bodybuilding star and NXT alumni has the strength, looks, and skills to become a legit threat to the baddest woman on the Planet. Since the WWE has plans to give Rousey an extended title run, Brooke can be developed as a real threat before the two feud with Brooke coming out on top and winning a much-deserved title in the WWE.
