When you hear the name “Shayna Baszler” typically two things come to mind. 1. Pioneer of WMMA or 2. Pro wrestling fan. Some other things might be “metal lover” or “2nd amendment supporter” anyway you get my point.
If you follow Baszler on social media(and if your not shame on you, drop whatever your doing and go do it NOW @QoSBaszler) you’ll know that she’s a huge fan of the WWE and the WWE loves her back. So the question is will she ever make the jump to the world of professional wrestling?
I mean after all she does specialize in “catch wrestling”and was one of the only females trained under the late great Billy Robinson. For those who don’t know catch wrestling is very similar to pro wrestling. In fact the beloved Daniel Bryan uses a lot of catch wrestling techniques in the WWE.
If the 33 year old Baszler would ever consider a career in pro wrestling she would fist have to “take care of a Brazilian first”. Baszler said quote “even if they (WWE) called me tomorrow I would have to tell them I have to have this fight first for the movie, the movie version of my life”
You can read more of the interview she did with fox sports 1 here http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/shayna-baszler-needs-first-ufc-fight-before-considering-wwe-career-060914
The fight Baszler is referring to is of corse her UFC debut against Bethe Corriea at UFC176 Aug 2nd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A fight that she’s been shedding blood, sweat and tears to get for 10+ years.
There you have it ladies and Gents its possible that we COULD see “the queen of spades” in WWE in the future but first she has to become the 1 in 8-1
Oh and how about that Shayna Baszler movie? Would you watch? I know I would.
