Woof.

Remember when Shayna Baszler burst onto the scene, dominating at Survivor Series, then literally taking a bite out of Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch?

Yeah, neither does WWE, apparently.

Baszler took part in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match Sunday night, and had to be a favorite to win, just given that she was Lynch’s last challenger at WrestleMania 36 and would be a huge threat if she was wandering around Raw with the briefcase.

But she was basically a non-factor throughout the match, getting taken out inside the building and not even making it to the roof to climb for the briefcase. It’s probably for the best that she didn’t get the Dana Brooke treatment, but she’s cooled off considerably since her Raw debut.

It’s just baffling to see her vanish from a match that many fans thought she might win.
