5 WWE main roster superstars who won their first championship in 2018

#2 Ronda Rousey

Speaking of Nia Jax vs Ronda Rousey, the current Raw Women's Champion is also in her first title reign in WWE. The Baddest Woman on the Planet made her debut at the end of the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, before stealing the show at WrestleMania alongside Kurt Angle, against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

That mixed tag team match proved that Ronda Rousey was ready for pro wrestling. She took to her new surroundings like a duck to water. Ronda's rise has been incredible, she constantly amazes us whenever she steps into the ring.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

After a summer-long chase, the Rowdy One got hold of the Raw Women's Championship in a squash match against Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam. From thereon, she has been doing consistently well in the ring and on the microphone.

Ronda's match against Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series was a classic, a sign of things to come. With unfinished business against the Queen and the pending match between herself and Becky Lynch, 2019 will be an even bigger year for Ronda Rousey. She is just going to get better and better.
