You read the headline right folks, The Queen of Spades is set to make her in-ring debut as a professional wrestler. The announcement came last Thursday when Shayna was a guest on the podcast MMA Jam session.
This however won’t be the first time Shayna Baszler has made some noise in the world of professional wrestling, earlier this year she managed ROH tag team reDRagon aiding them in victory against the young Bucks at ROH’s 13th Anniversary show. Then just a few weeks ago she made her presence known at ECCW’s Ballroom Brawl 4 When she laid a beating on goddess Mandy AND cost Nicole Matthews the titles in the main event triple threat ladder match.
This time though the MMA veteran will get to show the world what catch wrestling is all about as she takes on one of the biggest stars in the independent wrestling circuit Chearleader Melissa aka Melissa Anderson. Here is what Baszler had to say about the match:
Chearleader Melissa is a former Shimmer champion and a former TNA knockout where she competed under the names Raisha Saeed and Allisa Flash.
Baszler and Melissa will main event on the night of September 26th 2015 for wrestling promotion QPW at the Evalyn community center in Reno Nevada.
As far as Baszler’s MMA career goes she has went on record to say that she is NOT done fighting and she will return to the cage in the future, but for now the queen of Spades is having some fun and living out one of her dreams.
As a fan and friend of Shayna’s I couldn’t be any happier for her and know that she’s going to take the wrestling world by storm.
