The future is now!

4. Rhea Ripley

Trash talker and big kicker!
Trash talker and big kicker!

Believe it or not (sorry couldn't avoid that joke), Rhea Ripley is just at the ripe age of 22. Even then, she's kicking butt and taking names. Including making a subtle mockery of the CharlotteFlair-Becky Lynch sequence from Smackdown this week. Sure Lynch shoved it back to her like a real champ. Yet Ripley's got enough time to prove her A-game.

Mildly unconvincing in the hard-nosed fighter role, the Australian will get there especially if her appearances across the last two years are anything to go by. A definite lynchpin of the NXT UK division. If that version allows prospective elevation to the main roster, there's no denying she'd be a nice fit.

A perfect and acceptable foil to Ronda Rousey (if the Rowdy one sticks around), Rhea Ripley is a hell of a fight for pretty much anyone. Her snark gives another edge, especially the way she bullied Mia Yim out of the second edition of the Mae Young Classic. This is the perfect banter wrestler for a women's division with none as of yet.
