Whilst definitely a left-field pick, it would create quite a buzz.

As we saw on the latest edition of RAW, Baszler made references to her well-known links with The Baddest Woman on the Planet during her face-off with Becky Lynch.

Baszler and Rousey were once training mates during their time competing in MMA and are good friends outside the ring - making up one-half of the famed Four Horsewomen of MMA.

We haven't seen Rousey since she lost the RAW Women's Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 35, but it would make some sense if WWE decided to use her in NXT if she was to return.

With NXT being on the USA Network, having someone with the mainstream appeal of Rousey appear weekly on NXT would do wonders for viewer figures.

Not just that, she could be used in a prominent role in the accompanying storyline leading into Survivor Series between NXT, RAW and SmackDown. Rousey's past conflicts with Charlotte Flair and Lynch could provide the Black and Gold Brand with a mental edge, as well as potentially resulting in a rematch from last year's event with Flair. As well as that, this could finally plant the seeds for the long-awaited Horsewomen vs Horsewomen clash.

In terms of the WarGames match itself, we alluded earlier that Baszler may prefer to have someone she trusts alongside her, and there is arguably no one she trusts more than Rousey. As unlikely as it is to happen, it would provide the TakeOver event with a massive boost.
