Ranking the top 10 wrestlers of 2019

#2 Shayna Baszler

No female wrestler in the world has been as dominating as Shayna Baszler. She has taken on all comers and has destroyed anyone who has challenged her for the title. Baszler is currently one of the most feared women’s wrestlers on the planet. She won her second NXT Championship at NXT Takeover: New Orleans in 2018 and held the title for nearly 18 months.

‘The Queen of Spades’ has successfully defended her title against the likes of Io Shirai, Bianca Belair, Kairi Sane, and even Candice LeRae.

If that wasn’t impressive enough, Baszler took on Bayley and Becky Lynch at Survivor Series and emerged victoriously. Although Baszler recently lost her title to Rhea Ripley last week, it still doesn’t take anything away from her dominant year.

Things look promising for Shayna heading into the new year. Maybe next year, Baszler will win either the RAW or Smackdown Women’s Championship.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
