What in the name of mixed martial arts are WWE playing at with Shayna Baszler? She's obviously talented (some of her NXT matches were amazing) and is taken seriously by fans, but the company keeps watering her down as part of tag-teams no-one really asked for.

Nia Jax was first, and now Shayna is Natalya's hanger-on. Great.

Baszler's leap to SmackDown in the 2021 Draft last October should've reaped huge rewards. She seemed primed and ready to become one of the top female heels on the brand. Instead of doing that, Shayna became Sonya Deville's latest heavy for a cup of coffee then vanished before becoming Nattie's mate.

This genuinely sucks to see, because Baszler has all the tools to be something more. At this rate, WWE might be better-served having her sub in for Natalya during the Canadian's NXT 2.0 showings. Could things get any less impressive for Shayna as things stand?!
