#2 Shayna Baszler
If there was a list of most improved or most surprisingly impressive superstars of 2018, Shayna would easily top both for me. She has the poise, the fierce look and the in-ring ability to back it all up. She's almost a female Samoa Joe, if not better.
Combined with the other two horsewomen, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir, she has become a force to reckon as NXT Women's Champion.
A great way to use her momentum would be to go all in on her and have her win the Rumble and face Ronda at Wrestlemania. The NXT Women's title can be relinquished in this case, which should not be much of a problem. This could lead to an amazing story where Duke and Shafir pretend to play it neutral in the Rousey and Baszler clash and then align with Baszler again in the last moment to make it even tougher for Ronda to overcome the odds.
