#11 Ronda Rousey
Last week, the ex-UFC champ, in her first singles match, dragged Nia Jax to one of her best-ever performances, something which only Sasha Banks and Asuka were previously able to do.
There's no more reason for doubt. Ronda Rousey is the real deal.
Ronda Rousey's promo segments are awkward, but she's electric when she fights. Her upcoming rivalry with Alexa Bliss, after one segment, already looks like it will be one of 2018's best.
The matches that await Ronda Rousey as champion - with Sasha Banks, Ember Moon, Ruby Riott, a called-up Shayna Baszler, and, perhaps, with Asuka and Charlotte Flair, are salivating and, would be the cure a floundering women's division badly needs. Such matches would also solidify Ronda's place as 2018's rookie of the year.
