#2 Shayna Baszler
I know that a lot of people are not really convinced that Shayna Baszler is ready for the big time. Her matches are solid and they are believable, but they're not out and out 'this is awesome' worthy matches that NXT has become synonymous with, especially at TakeOver events. And yet, I put her ahead of candidates like Candice LeRae and Dakota Kai because she knows her character inside out.
Shayna Baszler is a bully and flanked by two other intimidating women with Mixed Martial Arts backgrounds, she is truly a force to be reckoned with for the babyfaces. In fact, I can already smell the cashflow from a feud against someone like Becky Lynch or Charlotte Flair in the main roster, considering these women have never faced off against someone like her because Rousey's gimmick was completely different. Even when Rousey went heel, she never took joy in inflicting pain like Baszler.
I think it's only a matter of time that Shayna Baszler moves up to the main roster because her talents will be far better utilized there having accomplished everything in NXT. She's worked out all her kinks and certainly doesn't fit the 'developmental talent' bracket anymore.
