Shayna Baszler’s WWE release is even more surprising. And now, a lot of people in the company know why it’s not coming.
According to Fightful SelectBaszler had been helping out on NXT behind the scenes recently, but the confusion grew when news of her release was removed. It’s even more shocking, she “I re-signed WWE last year.” It makes her exit feel like the expiration date of the contract and the sudden pull of the plug.
Baszler is under a 90-day non-competitive clause. That means fans won’t see her pop-up until the end of summer. But that doesn’t stop speculation. Given her MMA pedigree and her undeniable wrestling resume, she could have many options waiting for her.
The former UFC standout, two-time NXT women’s champion made her WWE debut in 2017 and quickly became one of the most dominant forces in the company. She won multiple women’s tag team titles in both Neajax and Ronda Rousey in 2020 with bulldozers through competitions that include clean sweeps within the elimination chamber. Her match with Rousey Summerslam 2023 It was one of WWE’s rare filming style matches. That’s only she can offer.
With Baszler gone, both the fans and insiders are left scratching their heads. She was recently featured on television, but still has a behind-the-scenes value and signed a new deal last year. Now she’s out – and WWE hasn’t said the words.
