Shayna Baszler's redemption under Triple H's watch has been as swift as it been satisfying. The former NXT hard nut threatened to break Liv Morgan's arm on SmackDown a few weeks ago, but stopped short of crunching the champ's bones before wrestling her in Cardiff; Baszler even pointed out that she was only sparing Liv's limb because of that title shot.

Come pay-per-view time though, Shayna should be obsessed with going down that dark path. In fact, by the end of the match, commentators can criticise Baszler's blood lust when it costs her the chance to become SmackDown Women's Champ. Of course, this plot point shouldn't mean that Liv is totally overwhelmed.

It's vital that WWE realigns Morgan as someone who's capable of hanging physically with the baddest women on the roster. She's been wishy-washy as champion thus far, so much so that yours truly was actually tempted to pitch Shayna taking the belt.
