Shayna Andrea Baszler is an American professional wrestler, kickboxer, and former mixed martial artist. She is the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion with Ronda Rousey in their first reign as a team. They won a fatal four-way match for the vacant WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Shayna Baszler recently appeared on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg to discuss many topics. She even talked about Ronda Rousey and her Tag Team reigns. If she wants to compete in the singles division rather than in the Tag Team division.
Well, I don’t know, we’ve always said that there’s a way to tell [that story]. So in combat sports, in wrestling, in Judo, in MMA, if your teammate has the title, the one way you get the title shot against your teammate is if the whole entire division is cleaned out, and they’ve earned it. It’s sort of a respect thing.
She feels that if someone is competing in the tag team division they should be given an opportunity in the singles division also. She said if her friend earned her spot by winning against others and got the opportunity for the title shot, she should go for it.
If I’m the champion and my friend has now cleaned out everyone and earned their way there. It would be disrespectful for me to deny them a title shot just because we’re friends. And so we’ve always talked about how there is a way to tell that in wrestling also. I guess it depends on how you sell it. So I don’t know. We’ll see what happens.
She even said their tag team reigns won’t end like others. They have talked about it. She said Ronda left the opportunity to go for the singles title and won the tag team title with me. She wants to make the tag team division more interesting that doesn’t take away the singles division opportunity from them.
We got these to do, and we didn’t just want these titles. We’re tired of a tag division that’s so temporary all the time. Like, oh, we need to do something. Let’s throw some girls together. Like we want to make a tag division. It’s very possible to have tag teams that also wrestle for singles. So I think we could build a tag division that doesn’t take away from the single scene at all, and that’s what we want to do right now. credit Cheap Heat transcription (h/t WrestleZone)
