The current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler recently appeared as special guest on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions Podcast and spoke about several topics.
During the show, Baszler was asked about possibility of facing getting in the ring against Ronda Rousey in WWE. Then, Shayna responded positively about the idea and said that they have discussed about it in the past but in MMA but she thinks it WrestleMania Event is the right place for them.
Here what Shayna Baszler said about facing off Ronda Rousey:
“After The Ultimate Fighter, I was at a stage in my life where the world fell apart… Ronda had flown me out to California… and I went out there and she really helped me. I remember sitting around… we were celebrating something. It’s this big Armenian meal, right? These guys bring out all these platters and we’re drinking and making toasts. I remember toasting: “Ronda? I am going to give you the fight that you deserve, to thank you for what you did for me in my life.”…It’s funny because Ronda and I have talked about, at the time, you’d think it meant MMA. But now, it might mean this (wrestling). That’s a WrestleMania… we’ll have to see!”
“WrestleMania is coming up, so it’s probably not this one, per say. But it would have to be a spot where – because we’re a team, first and foremost – so it would have to be something like, as a teammate, and this is a very amateur wrestling mindset, as a teammate, you’re never going to deny a teammate a shot. If they earn it. So it would have to be one of these things.”
Shayna Baszler is the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion along with Nia Jax and showing their dominance in women’s tag team division. And, Ronda Rousey last wrestled in WWE at WrestleMania 35, in which she lost her Raw Women’s Championship to Becky Lynch in main event.
