Ronda Rousey is about to defend her WWE Raw Women’s Championship again at the Royal Rumble, reigning since August 19, 2018. Shayna Baszler is the current NXT women’s champion, and the first to hold the belt twice. Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir signed developmental contracts with the WWE and debuted recently, and Matt Riddle has officially made his presence known in NXT.
