In a shocking turn of events, WWE Superstar Shayna Baszler has hinted at a major overhaul following her disappointing loss to IYO SKY on Monday Night RAW. The 43-year-old grappler, known for her fearsome in-ring presence, was left visibly frustrated backstage, sparking speculation about a potential shift in her WWE career.
The intense quarter-final match against SKY in the Queen of the Ring Tournament ultimately ended in defeat, with Baszler failing to advance to the next round. The usually dominant competitor appeared shaken in a WWE Instagram reel, admitting that “something was not working” and that she needed to reassess her approach.
Baszler’s discontent is understandable, given her recent struggles to replicate the success she enjoyed in NXT. During her time in the developmental brand, she reigned supreme as a dominant champion, earning the respect of fans and peers alike. However, since transitioning to the main roster, her progress has stagnated, leaving many to wonder if she will ever regain her former glory.
TheQueen of Spades’ recent actions have also been marked by controversy, particularly her bitter feud with Ronda Rousey. The two MMA veterans formed a tag team in 2022, capturing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship the following year. However, their partnership turned sour when Baszler turned against Rousey, leading to a heartbreaking loss of the titles to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
Their subsequent MMA Rules Match at SummerSlam 2023 ended with Baszler emerging victorious, but also marked Rousey’s final WWE appearance. In a recent interview with Fightful, Baszler revealed that the highly anticipated bout was heavily restricted due to venue limitations, forcing the pair to make last-minute changes.
As the WWE Universe ponders the future of Shayna Baszler, one thing is certain – the Queen of Spades is at a crossroads. Will she revamp her approach, adopt a new persona, or forge a new path in the WWE? Only time will tell. One thing is for sure – fans will be eagerly watching to see what’s next for this talented, yet struggling, Superstar.
