Shayna Baszler is receiving the audience’s love even after turning against the former UFC star. Talking about the sports fans on WWE’s The Bump, Baszler said, “They can smell when you’re faking the funk and all this is legit and real to me. I think they connect to stuff that’s real.” She claims that everything that she has been vocal about is real and that is why the fans cheer for her.
Ronda Rousey‘s popularity among fans has reduced dramatically. From being one of the top-rated stars to being an occasional performer, fans are not too happy to see the former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion compete in the ring. We will have to wait and see what destiny holds next for the iconic best friend pair.
Ronda Rousey vs Shayna Baszler is set for WWE SummerSlam 2023
The WWE Universe is aware of the bond shared by Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. These two WWE stars have always backed up each other in times of need. The iconic duo has also trained together and become the best version of themselves both in and outside the ring.
However, WWE Money In The Bank 2023 changed the dimensions of the relationship between Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. With WWE’s next Premium Live Event – SummerSlam, right at the corner, the two are sure to meet for a faceoff. In addition to this, this might also prove to be Ronda Rousey’s last PLE in WWE.
Ronda Rousey is rumored to join hands with the UFC once again. Her feud with Shayna Baszler is probably the best way to mark her exit from the Stamford-based promotion. WWE already had this storyline in mind. It’s only a matter of time as to when the plan will be put into action. However, the feud between these two best friends is sure to be an exciting one for all the fans.
