Would the current NXT Women's champ be moving on up to Raw or SmackDown next week?

With Ronda Rousey likely taking a sabbatical from her WWE career after losing her first match at WrestleMania 35, will WWE replace the bad-ass former MMA fighter with another bad-ass former MMA fighter?

Baszler was a natural fit as a pro wrestler and as a heel. She's a bully and can back it up with her submission and striking skills in the ring.

While taking her away from Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke were hurt those two, Baszler is just too good at what she does to be staying down in NXT for much longer.

For that reason, she might not be showing up next week on WWE proper, but she's certainly someone who is more than ready and who could fill the void created by Rousey's departure.

She could also boast that she never lost the title the second time and it could also create an interesting dynamic in NXT if the women had a tournament to crown a new champ.

The same happened prior to Asuka joining the main roster, so if they wanted to keep up Baszler's ruthless aura, they could go this route to have her join Raw or SmackDown.
