Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler took matters into their own hands recently.
During the build up to WWE Clash At The Castle, both Liv Morgan and WWE compared Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey together. Both started off in the world of MMA before transitioning to pro wrestling.
Despite not starting in the sport, the pair have apparently took matters into their own hands when WWE did not want to build the relationship between the pair up. While Ronda was preparing to face Natalya at Money In The Bank, the pair released videos on social media where they would discuss how the storyline had happened, with Ronda being mad at Shayna for standing by her tag team partner.
Fightful Select now reports that the WWE creative team were not involved in these segments.
Recently, Rousey was booked in a Women’s Title program with Baszler’s then-partner Natayla. Along the way, Baszler was briefly integrated into the story, with the two giving a nod to their yearslong history and friendship with one another. However, there was also a video released on WWE on Fox’s social media where the two made sense of the situation, and explaining their stances. We’re told that the angle was something Rousey and Baszler planned out themselves, and wasn’t cooked up by WWE creative. In addition, we were informed that there was no real plan to acknowledge the history between the two on WWE TV at that point outside of a mention on commentary.
