Shayna Baszler (Backstage fallout NXTTakeover New Orleans)
Time and time again NXTTakeover deliveries and tonight was no different. From opening bell to the very last NXTNewOrleans had something special.
One of the moments that was near and dear to our heart, was when Shayna Baszler captured the NXT Women’s title from Ember Moon by putting her to sleep.
The hesrtfelt moment continued after the match in Baszler’s post interview.
This is not a bandwagon, this is a war wagon. You can’t just jump on and off based on who has this. I know who was there for with me in the beginning and who wasn’t.
In the interview she also talks about what it means to be sharing this weekend with her friend Ronda Rousey. One thing for sure is this weekend truly is a special one for the 4Horsewomen
You can check out Shayna’s interview down below

WWE Announces Return Of UK Championship Tournament
Today at WWE’s Business Partner Summit, Triple H announced the UK Championship Tournament will return for two nights on June 18 and 19 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England. Last year, Tyler Bate was crowned the first WWE UK Champion after defeating Pete Dunne in the finals. Below is WWE’s full announcement:
“Triple H revealed during today’s Business Partner Summit that the United Kingdom Championship Tournament will return for two nights this summer on June 18 and 19. This showcase for the finest talent in the U.K. will emanate from the most famous arena in London, Royal Albert Hall.The first United Kingdom Championship Tournament was held in 2017 on Jan. 14 and 15 in Blackpool’s Empress Ballroom and aired live on WWE Network. The competition to crown the first-ever WWE United Kingdom Champion was won by 19-year-old Tyler Bate, who beat Pete Dunne in the final. Dunne later defeated Bate for the title at NXT TakeOver: Chicago in a modern classic, and continues to hold the championship as of this publication.
The Royal Albert Hall, meanwhile, is one of the world’s most vaunted arenas. Opened by Queen Victoria in 1871, it has hosted Beatles concerts, Muhammad Ali boxing matches and sports-entertainment bouts dating back as far as 1904 when WWE Hall of Famer George Hackenschmidt grappled there. And on June 18 and 19, it will serve as the proving ground of WWE’s next great U.K. talent.
Stay with WWE.com for more information on the return of the United Kingdom Championship Tournament as it becomes available.”

Ronda Rousey Reportedly Wants A Paul Heyman To Become Her Manager In WWE
Ronda Rousey is looking to have Paul Heyman represent her in the WWE storylines, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
It was noted that Rousey will likely not become a Paul Heyman Girl due to internal company politics as the pairing would not fit the big picture narrative on why Rousey was signed. The idea is for Rousey to be the babyface antagonist to Stephanie McMahon and Heyman’s role is seen as more of a heel, even though WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar ended up being a babyface with Heyman representing him, which was not how they intended for things to turn out. Some do feel that the WWE fan base will eventually turn on Rousey.
Rousey is also in WWE because the outside world will see her as the biggest star in the company, and because she’s had strong drawing power with female fans. The Observer noted that the limited data they have shows RAW viewership with men is way up when Rousey is on but female viewership is not.
