Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler
Shayna Andrea Baszler (born August 8, 1980) is an American professional wrestler, kickboxer, and former mixed martial artist. She is currently signed to WWE, where she performs on the Raw brand. Baszler is a former two-time and longest combined-reigning NXT Women's Champion and a former record-tying three-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion.
Baszler was trained in mixed martial arts (MMA) by former UFC fighter Josh Barnett and in catch wrestling by Billy Robinson. She had her first professional MMA fight in 2006 and gained recognition in the following years for the use of her hammerlock submission set-up while on her back; a set-up which she has used to submit several opponents, including Roxanne Modafferi. In an audio interview on the Sherdog Radio Network, she dubbed the submission, which she created in training, as the "Shwing." Baszler was signed in 2013 by the UFC to participate on their reality television series The Ultimate Fighter – she would go on to have two professional bouts (0-2) in the company. In 2015, she was cut from the UFC and started her professional wrestling career that same year, again receiving training from Barnett. Baszler has an overall MMA record of 15 wins and 11 losses, with 13 wins by submission.
Martial arts background and persona
Baszler, a Khun Kru in the Muay Thai Kickboxing association and a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, wanted to begin incorporating Josh Barnett's catch wrestling into her MMA training. This proved to be somewhat difficult because she could not train with Barnett in Southern California, so Barnett wrote a syllabus and filmed a video to teach her the step-by-step techniques and concepts of catch wrestling and give her tips on how to improve her verbal skills.
Barnett suggested that Baszler carry an electric guitar to the cage to show that she was outspoken. Baszler reluctantly agreed, and the guitar became a signature of her rockstar-like persona. Later, Barnett gave Baszler "The Queen of Spades" nickname due to her ability to perform card tricks – the card magic nickname also gives a nod to her "submission magic". Baszler refers to her fans as the "Queen's Army."

On the January 10, 2018, episode of NXT, she made her in-ring debut, defeating Dakota Kai by referee stoppage.

On the November 1 episode of SmackDown, Baszler was the first NXT wrestler to invade the show, when she attacked Nikki Cross, Sasha Banks, and SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley; later that night, Baszler joined Triple H and the rest of the NXT roster as they declared war on both Raw and SmackDown, and vowed to win the Survivor Series brand warfare. At NXT TakeOver: WarGames on November 23, Baszler and her team lost against Rhea Ripley and her team in the first ever women's WarGames match.

On the first night of WrestleMania 36 on April 4, Baszler failed to win the title from Lynch after a roll-up pin, with her push reportedly being cancelled by Vince McMahon over criticisms about her MMA style, despite other talents such as Brock Lesnar using the same. At Money in the Bank on May 10, Baszler failed to win the briefcase which contained the Raw Women's Championship instead of the contract, also reportedly due to her push being cancelled.
At Payback on August 30, Baszler and Nia Jax defeated Bayley and Sasha Banks to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. They lost the titles to Asuka and Charlotte Flair on December 20 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs.

On the second night of WrestleMania 37 on April 11, Baszler and Jax retained the titles against Natalya and Tamina. After multiple singles and tag team matches between the two teams, Baszler and Jax lost the titles to Natalya and Tamina on the May 14 episode of SmackDown.
On the May 31 episode of Raw, Baszler began feuding with Alexa Bliss, claiming that the use of Bliss' "powers" were the reason why Baszler and Jax lost the titles. A match between the two was scheduled for Hell in a Cell on June 20, which Bliss won. Tensions kept rising between Baszler and Jax, and on the September 20 episode of Raw, their alliance ended when she brutally attacked Jax after their match against each other.
As part of the 2021 Draft, Baszler was drafted to the SmackDown brand. In October, Baszler entered the Queen's Crown tournament, where she defeated Dana Brooke in the first round but lost to Doudrop in the semi-finals.

During this time, Baszler formed a tag team with Natalya and challenged for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, leading to a fatal four-way tag team match for the titles on the second night of WrestleMania 38 on April 3, which was won by Sasha Banks and Naomi. On the June 3 episode of SmackDown, Baszler competed in a six-pack challenge to determine the #1 contender for the SmackDown Women's Championship, which was won by Natalya.

On the August 5 episode of SmackDown, Baszler won a gauntlet match for the opportunity to face Liv Morgan for the SmackDown Women's Championship at Clash at the Castle on September 3, but failed to win the title at the event.
On the October 28 episode of SmackDown, Baszler attacked Natalya in a backstage segment, ending their partnership and aligning with SmackDown Women's Champion and real-life best friend Ronda Rousey in the process. The following week, with Rousey in her corner, Baszler defeated Natalya. At Survivor Series WarGames on November 26, Baszler helped Rousey retain her title against Shotzi. On Night 2 of WrestleMania 39, Rousey and Baszler won the Women's WrestleMania Showcase fatal four-way tag team match despite barely being involved in the match. As part of the 2023 WWE Draft, Baszler and Rousey were drafted to the Raw brand. On the May 29 episode of Raw, Baszler and Rousey won a fatal four-way tag team match for the vacant WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. On the June 23 episode of SmackDown, Baszler and Rousey defeated Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship to unify the two tag team titles.
On July 1, at Money In The Bank, Baszler turned on Rousey by attacking her and walking out of the match, turning face for the first time in her career, allowing Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to take advantage and pinning Rousey to regain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, ending their reign at 32 days. On the July 3 episode of Raw, Baszler confronted Rousey, frustrated as she had to pay her dues to get to the WWE, while Rousey had her first match at WrestleMania. This led into a brawl between the two, which ended with Baszler kneeing Rousey in the face. On the July 10 episode of Raw, after Baszlers match versus Emma, Rousey came out and another brawl broke out. This ended with Baszler barely escaping the ring after receiving an arm bar from Rousey. The following week, after defeating Nikki Cross in a match, Rousey called out Baszler from the skybox, then Baszler challenged Rousey to a fight after calling her out for taking the easy way into WWE while she herself had to work hard to get into WWE, though Rousey refused and instead offered to face Baszler at SummerSlam in a MMA rules match. Baszler defeated Rousey at SummerSlam, choking her unconscious and winning by technical submission.
Partnership with Zoey Stark (2023–Present)
On the September 4 episode of Raw, Baszler defeated Zoey Stark by technical submission after Stark passed out to the Kirifuda Clutch. After the match, Baszler gave praise to Stark's toughness.

On the September 18, 2023 episode of Raw, Baszler, Green, Niven and Stark was attacked by Nia Jax.

Personal life
Baszler was born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She has German ancestry on her father's side and Chinese ancestry on her mother's side. Baszler attended MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas, where she majored in religious studies.
Baszler was a key spokesperson in the movement to create a South Dakota athletic commission for combat sports. She once delivered a speech that touched opposing Rep.

After visiting Baszler at the Next Edge Academy of Martial Arts, the training place of Baszler, as well as other mixed martial arts fighters and practitioners, Hickey changed his mind about the sport.
Outside of combat sports, Baszler coaches the South Dakota-based roller derby team, the Sioux Falls Roller Dollz and is a certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).
