Which female WWE Superstar had the best 2019?

#7 Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler reigned for much of 2019 as NXT women's champion.

An argument could be made that Shayna Baszler is a much better technical performer than her more famous friend, Ronda Rousey. Certainly in terms of both experience and smoothness of execution, this much is true.

Baszler is a consistent performer who is capable of working a variety of match styles and deserves her prominent spot on the NXT roster. But how did she fare in 2019 overall?

Win-Loss Record: With 35 wins and only 12 losses, Baszler's record would be impressive even without the caveat that most of her losses came in tag matches where she herself was not pinned or submitted. Grade: A+

Championships: Shayna Baszler went into 2019 as the NXT women's champion and defended it successfully for most of the year against a veritable who's who of the best talent the WWE has to offer. Grade: A+

Cross Media Appeal: As a former MMA competitor and champion, Baszler is well known outside of pro wrestling. Grade: A

Industry Influence: Baszler's hard-hitting style is reminiscent of both Japanese and British wrestling, and she's definitely popularized such in North America. Grade: B

Overall Grade: A+ Baszler had the best year of her career in 2019, and we're looking forward to seeing what she does in 2020 and beyond.
