One well-known McMahon test is for wrestlers to prove that they have personality. Sure, they might be able to put on solid matches, but can they sports entertain? That's what Vince what's to know, and it's presumably why he had ex-MMA hard nut Shayna Baszler sh*t bricks over Alexa Bliss' little dolly over on Raw last year.

Remarkably, that didn't kill off Baszler's interest in wrestling. Even more amazingly, Shayna actually defended the creative process and said she enjoyed being pulled from her comfort zone in those mega-cheesy skits. This is a guess, but Baszler probably isn't enjoying doing sod all on SmackDown.

She's criminally overlooked.

Since moving brands, Shayna has become on/off involved in Sonya Deville's issues with Naomi. That hasn't been a consistent spot though, and Baszler has vanished into thin air. She's gone AWOL. One of the best women WWE has on tap hasn't wrestled a TV match since mid-December.
