Shayna Baszler can finally make good on a promise she made to Ronda Rousey as their friendship began to bud nearly a decade ago – just not in the way she envision.
Shayna Baszler can finally make good on a promise she made to Ronda Rousey as their friendship began to bud nearly a decade ago – just not in the way she envisioned.
Instead of in the octagon, Rousey’s and Baszler’s first televised one-on-one meeting in combat sports will happen in a WWE ring in an MMA rules match at SummerSlam at Detroit’s Ford Field on Saturday night . She saw things repeating themselves in their wrestling careers as Baszler was a high-profile women’s MMA fighter transitioning to the sport in 2015 and signed with NXT in 2017.
“Once all eyes are on me, then it’s a matter of solidifying my spot as that person that if I can beat up Ronda Rousey then who can’t I beat up,” Baszler said. “You look at Ronda, even the losses she has had [in WWE] they have been a little bit of people capitalized on a mistake or a fluke type of thing. I want to beat Ronda Rousey definitively in a fight so there is no question when my music hits someone is getting hurt, win or lose.
The bulk of their story has been jammed into the last two months as Rousey missed some time with an elbow injury earlier this year – delaying their pursuit of the tag team championships.
