Shayna Baszler is undoubtedly one of the most influential in-ring competitors ever. She has transitioned from the world of mixed martial arts into the world of WWE. Baszler’s strong wrestling style has earned many fans for the former UFC fighter in the Stamford-based promotion. Her exceptional performances during her WWE run against various top-tier superstars are commendable.
She was recently involved in a fierce and intense rivalry with another ex-UFC performer, Ronda Rousey. Both of them went back and forth during their intense rivalry, which helped Shayna gain some popularity among the fans. Despite having a highlighted career in MMA, Baszler is barely used in the world title storylines and is mostly found in filler matches and rivalries.
Apart from her professional career, she hasn’t been very public about her personal life and has kept it secretive. Throughout the years, Shayna has had several relationships, but none of them were made public by the former NXT Women’s Champion. Baszler also revealed that she was a part of the LGBTQ community back in 2013 after revealing she was dating another female.
