Shayna Baszler, renowned for her prowess in WWE, recently confronted sexism while reflecting on her memorable feud with Ronda Rousey.
Emerging from an MMA background, Baszler’s transition to WWE NXT showcased her dominance, setting her apart as a force to be reckoned with in the ladies’s division.
Despite a quieter stint on the principal roster, Baszler stays an imposing figure within the ring, unafraid to say herself.
As someone who has trained alongside men for a living, respectfully, you’re wrong. (Also, most men don’t train to actually fight. At all.) https://t.co/0PWVxd0nZe

In a recent social media exchange, Baszler asserted her capability to contend with most men in combat sports.
Nevertheless, a fan retorted with a sexist remark, insinuating that Baszler’s genetics would hinder her performance against men. Baszler swiftly rebutted, drawing from her experience training alongside men:
“As someone who has trained alongside men for a living, respectfully, you’re flawed. (Also, most men don’t train to really fight. In any respect).”
Switching gears, Baszler reminisced about her compelling feud with real-life friend Ronda Rousey, culminating in a hard-hitting MMA Rules Match that marked Rousey’s final WWE appearance.
Despite logistical challenges posed by the venue, Baszler and Rousey delivered a memorable encounter, with Baszler emerging victorious.
In an interview with Fightful, Baszler make clear the logistical hurdles encountered during their match, highlighting the venue’s limitations:
“I won’t lie, the concept we had, we were a bit of bit handcuffed just based on the venue. There was no tron, so we knew the people in-house were going to have trouble perhaps understanding a few of the stuff because you would like a camera and an in depth up of that… We did the most effective we could with what we had. I’m happy with it.”
As speculation lingers over Rousey’s potential WWE return, Baszler’s triumph serves as a compelling narrative thread, leaving fans intrigued about future confrontations within the squared circle.
