On this week's installment of WWE RAW Underground, Shayna Baszler made her debut appearance. "The Queen of Spades" turned up to destroy three opponents in a row during the segment.
Shayna Baszler was the first woman on the WWE roster who has competed in RAW Underground. After Dabba-Kato denied Baszler a fight, "The Submission Magician" turned her attention to the crowd, pulling out three women and defeating them quickly. RAW Underground host, Shane McMahon, raised Baszler's arm as she reveled in her victory in front of the crowd.
Now that a female WWE superstar has joined in on the action, here are five more women who should compete on RAW Underground.
#5 Candice LeRae
Candice LeRae has been a big fixture on the NXT roster since 2018. Recently, she traded in her upbeat face persona to become a darker and sinister character. LeRae started a feud with Mia Yim and Keith Lee alongside her husband, Johnny Gargano.
The star has also been involved in more stipulation matches of late. At NXT TakeOver: The Great American Bash, LeRae defeated her long-time enemy, Mia Yim, in a Street Fight.
Although "The Poison Pixie" has come close in the past, she has yet to capture a title. Before LeRae signed with WWE, she was a big star on the independent scene. During that time, LeRae took part in intergender matches where she teamed up with and against men who are also fellow WWE stars like Seth Rollins, Adam Cole, and John Morrison.
Candice LeRae is no stranger to fierce, intense competition, and it would be interesting to see her take part in the action on RAW Underground.
#4 Dana Brooke
Dana Brooke was last seen on WWE programming during that strange Karaoke Showdown segment on SmackDown a few weeks ago. Brooke is a skilled in-ring, competitor but she hasn't had the opportunity to showcase her abilities lately.
Before her career in WWE, Brooke was a fitness model and gymnast. She made her debut on NXT in 2015 in a pairing with Emma. After she was drafted to RAW, Brooke became Charlotte Flair's ally, before she turned face and joined Titus Worldwide. Brooke later moved to SmackDown.
Brooke has been a part of WWE since 2015 but she still hasn't won a title. RAW Underground needs more female talent, and Dana Brooke seems like a great fit with her athletic background.
Brooke is a talented performer but isn't involved in any storylines at the moment. WWE has used RAW Underground to establish new stars in over the last two weeks. The segment could potentially be used to showcase Dana Brooke's more serious and competitive side. Maybe we could see the star appear on RAW Underground in the next few weeks.
#3 Bianca Belair
RAW Underground seems like it could be a great fit for Bianca Belair. After dominating the competition during her time in NXT and coming close to becoming the NXT Women's Champion multiple times, Belair made the move to RAW.
When competing on the "black and gold brand", Belair was involved in some huge matches, going against well-established performers such as Nikki Cross and Rhea Ripley. Belair also displayed her strength in the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble Match, where she eliminated a record eight women from the bout.
Before beginning her WWE career, Belair made a name for herself as a competitive CrossFit athlete, before she had to quit due to injury. Belair is known for her strong in-ring style, making her a great fit for the competition on RAW Underground.
Since moving to RAW in April, Belair has often been a part of storylines with the Street Profits. On Monday, she impressed fans during a match with Zelina Vega. Bringing "The EST of WWE" to compete on RAW Underground would be a great way to showcase Belair's skills and athleticism.
#2 Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley has been a great member of the NXT roster, but could we see the star on RAW Underground soon?
Ripley was recently able to defeat both Robert Stone and Aliyah in a two-on-one handicap match, cementing her as the sort of strong competitor that would thrive in RAW Underground. Some fans believe this win was WWE's way of hinting that Ripley could do more intergender wrestling.
"The Nightmare" defeated Shayna Baszler to win the NXT Women's Championship in December of 2019 after an intense feud. Ripley later dropped the title to Charlotte Flair in a shocking loss at WrestleMania 36. Since she dropped the belt, Ripley has been involved in some great match-ups but she hasn't quite reached the momentum that led up to her big win over Baszler.
Bringing Rhea Ripley to RAW Underground could re-establish the star as the dominant force that she was last yeat. Also, RAW Underground could be the setting for Ripley and Baszler to reignite the fierce rivalry that they had during their time with NXT.
#1 Sonya Deville
Recently, Fire and Desire split up, establishing both Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville as singles stars in WWE. The pair are currently involved in a long-running feud.
During Sonya's current storyline, she has impressed fans with her in-ring skills and her promo work. Deville and Rose worked as a pair since their days on Tough Enough in 2015. Later, they both signed with NXT.
After moving from NXT to SmackDown, Deville and Rose joined Paige in the short-lived stable, Absolution. Paige later retired from in-ring action and the pair formed the tag team, Fire and Desire.
Deville constantly put Rose first. She even carried her partner up the ladder during the 2019 Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. When the two split up, Deville came across as jealous of her friend's beauty and the attention that she received, as she brought light to this dynamic.
Over recent months, Deville has been the intense "Pride Fighter," resorting to tactics such as ambushing Rose backstage to cut her hair, making her seem like the type of wrestler who could easily fit on RAW Underground.
Bringing Deville to fight on RAW Underground would be perfect for her current persona and it would also suit her background as an MMA fighter.
