10 Wrestlers Who MUST Switch Brands In The 2021 WWE Draft
8. Shayna Baszler (Raw To SmackDown)
Just get Shayna Baszler the f*ck away from Nia Jax and "stupid dolls".
Somebody on the creative staff would get a huge pat on the back if they rescued Shayna from her plight on Monday nights. The ex-NXT winner is in serious need of a rethink; Baszler could actually do with going back to basics. She doesn't need this extra layer of forced personality.
Shayna's trying, but she's not cut out for WWE's brand of "sports entertainment". The company repeatedly gets goofy, and it's obvious to anybody who has watched even five minutes of output on Raw that Baszler is out of her comfort zone. Is being out of one's comfort zone always a bad thing? No, but this Alexa Bliss angle is hardly pulsating TV.
A jump to SmackDown could help Shayna recover. She's the ideal opponent for Bianca Belair in the title mix, and she'd immediately become the top heel on the brand. SmackDown's female ranks are paper thin, so they could use her.
