Shayna Baszler, who was released from WWE in early 2025, has continued to contribute behind the scenes during recent WWE NXT tapings. According to BodySlam.net’s Cory Hays, Baszler was credited as the producer for the Kelani Jordan vs. Lainey Reid match on the July 8 episode of WWE NXT, a fact Baszler confirmed on Twitch. She mentioned that she was collaborating with WWE personnel but chose to keep their identities private.
Baszler’s departure from WWE was unexpected, especially since she remained involved with the main roster during that time. Reflecting on a possible return to WWE in a producer role, the former women’s champion showed openness to the idea.
Currently, Baszler is focused on returning to in-ring action, hinting at a move to Japan once her 90-day non-compete clause ends. Whatever her next step, Baszler continues to captivate WWE fans.
Fan Take: Baszler’s ongoing involvement with WWE, despite her release, signals that she still holds considerable influence behind the scenes. Her potential return as a producer or wrestler could bring fresh energy and experience to WWE, benefiting both the talent and the fans eager for new storylines.
