10 Wrestling Facts We Didn’t Know Last Week (8 Nov)

10. Shayna Baszler's SmackDown Rush

Last week's mad rush to cobble together a watchable SmackDown resulted in an NXT-heavy episode that fans warmly received. One of the fresh faces was NXT Women's Champ Shayna Baszler, who attacked Bayley at short notice. "At short notice" maybe doesn't explain Baszler's day properly.

It was mad.

Some of the NXT crew had Friday and Saturday off, so Shayna blasted a hard workout in the gym and looked forward to some down time. She told PWInsider she'd just finished her workout when WWE called and said she had to catch a quick flight to SmackDown because talent were stuck in Saudi Arabia. After frantically packing, she rushed to the airport.

The rush didn't stop there. As soon as Baszler's plane landed, she was ushered onto a shuttle and eventually had to literally run from the bus to Gorilla for her segment. A member of the arena's staff charted out the route to the ring on her phone so she wouldn't get lost.
