Will we ever see Shayna Baszler in the WWE?
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.

WWE Releases Diva Aksana, Teddy Long And Others
It’s that time again where WWE starts making cuts due to what one would assume is money. It was announced today that numerous superstars have been cut from the flagship that is wwe. Those names include Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, (guess that means no more 3MB) Brodus Clay, Curt Hawkins, Yoshi Tatsu, Teddy Long, Camacho referee Marc Haris and Evan Bourne.
However the stand out cut for me and the one that’s bothering me most is diva Aksana. With her being gone means that there’s only 2 girls left from NXT season 3 and that’s Naomi and AJ (but then again no one really knows what’s going on with AJ)
see it’s a sad moment for me because NXT season 3 is what got the flame going again for my love of divas. (It was how I discovered Kaitlyn (and we all know how much I love her)
Aksana was hilarious playing the ditzy foreign blonde who later became her pro’s (Goldust) wife to only betray him. Then when she got to the main roster she became Cesaro’s manager only to be betrayed by him. (What goes around comes around right)
To me Aksana was someone that was always underused. Sure she may have injured Naomi but accidents happen and she still had potential in my eyes so truly I’m sad to see her go. In fact I’m sad to see them all go, because in truth they are were great talents that were poorly used. One has to wonder if we’ll see any of them in TNA anytime soon?
The other question that has to be answered now is who will take Aksana’s place in being Alicia Fox’s side kick?
Apparently the list keeps growing you can stay updated here http://www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-releases-superstars
On behalf of everyone here at DTRTwrestling I would like to wish these talents well. Thanks for entertaining us

Shayna Baszler “The Queen of Hearts”???
Never fear ladies and gents Shayna Baszler is still very much “the queen of spades” I mean after all we know there can only be one true “Queen of hearts” and that is none other then Natalya Neidhart. However that doesn’t mean that Baszler can’t be an honorary member of the legendary Hart Family. By the looks of it after tonight that has been made official.
Check out Natalya’s tweet https://twitter.com/natbynature/status/476919935361613825
Pictured above (and in the tweet) is Baszler with Davey boy smith Jr. The son of late great professional wrestler “The British Bulldog” (who became a member of the hart family by marrying Diana Hart).
Like they always say a picture is worth 1000 words. Can this be more proof that Baszler is getting ready for an appearance at WWE Summerslam?
Only time will tell.

Chael Sonnen announces retirement
In the sports word things can change on a dime. I was literally JUST writing some stuff up on Chael Sonnen for this weeks episode of DTRTwrestling weekly and then I get a txt from fellow crew member Trevor Decker and I learn that Chael Sonnen says he’s retiring from MMA…. I mean just like that. You can read more on the story here http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/chael-sonnen-announces-he-s-retiring-from-mma-after-17-years-of-fighting-061114?cmpid=traffic:partner:bleacherreport
The dude has had a hell of a career. One of his stand out rivalries of corse was against the legendary Anderson Silva. Sonnen is definitely a legend in his own right and in some ways my heart is breaking for the dude because its like he had to do what he did to stay healthy.
With Sonnen announcing retirement want does this mean for the light heavyweight title? You can expect me to discuss the Sonnen situation in its entirety this Friday on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/DTRTwrestling at 12pmPST/3pmEST

Update on Plans for Daniel Bryan’s Return
The Wrestling Observer notes that their is major concern backstage at WWE over Daniel Bryan. Despite these concerns, WWE is looking at doing a Bryan VS Brock Lesnar feud when Bryan is able to return.
The Wrestling Observer reports that according to sources the long term destination is still the same & the Money In The Bank pay-per-view is is a temporary detour. when Bryan comes back there is still plans for him to be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. It remains to be seen how they get the Title back on him.
If Bryan isn’t able to return for SummerSlam those plans could change, but WWE hopes he is able to return by then.

Chael Sonnen out of UFC 175
It is being reported on various sites including ESPN (http://m.espn.go.com/extra/mma/story?storyId=11062115&src=desktop&rand=ref~%7B%22ref%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F%22%7D)
That UFC’s light heavyweight champion Chael Sonnen has tested positive for two illegal substances under the NSAC and will be forced out of competing at UFC 175 against the returning vitor Belfort.
According to Sonnen both these substances are for TRT (Testosterone replacement therapy)
He then went on to say that rules or rules and that if you can’t follow them you shouldn’t be fighting. He also added that fighting without these drugs in his case is unhealthy and if he can’t find another way to manage the problem he may not be able to fight anymore.
What do all of you think about the situation? Many mma stars have had this problem including Vitor Belfort himself. Should ufc change their regulations on these types of drugs? Sound off let me know.
I will be discussing this manner in greater detail this Friday on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/DTRTwrestling 12pmPST/3pmEST
stay tuned until then catch you next time.
