Shayna Baszler recently appeared as a guest on a WWE’s After the Bell podcast with Corey Graves.
During the interview, Baszler looked back on her WWE RAW debut where she shockingly appeared and bit the then RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch on the neck.
Here is what she had to say:
“So even I felt mixed about it as it happened. But the fact of the matter is, you can’t argue with — you already said like, everything was trending, people were talking about it. It’s a good gague as far as what’s getting people talking. So I guess it goes back to, I was talking to Kevin Owens when I was still at NXT. He was there I think, had an injury or something, I can’t remember. But he was at the Performance Center, and he was telling me that you forget being at NXT. Because NXT has a very loyal fanbase that you forget that the majority of maybe the RAW and SmackDown audience doesn’t necessarily watch NXT. So he said, you know, he was NXT champion, and it was a real eye-opening experience that when he started kind of dabbling on Raw and Smackdown when he was still champion, there were some crowds that didn’t know who he was. And it kind of blew my mind.
“So what’s going to be the thing — if I’m moving from NXT to Raw and Smackdown, you have to do something that’s going to make you stand out. What am I going to do? Just come out, do the thing and have a regular match? So I think in the end, I came around to being like, ‘Okay, people are talking about this? Yeah, that’s what I wanted anyway.’ So it worked.”
