WWE Crown Jewel 2021: 10 Things That Must Happen
7. Shayna Baszler Dominates
Ditto.
Shayna Baszler's "main roster" experiences to date have been shared ones. Creative flunked her first big feud with Becky Lynch, then quickly stuck Shayna in a tag-team with Nia Jax. Since then, Baszler has seemingly moved on to become Sonya Deville's muscle.
That SmackDown booking made this writer sigh and wonder if Shayna will ever get the solo focus she totally deserves. Winning the first ever Queen's Crown tournament would be a step in the right direction for her and the blue brand's women's division - Baszler would rocket to the top of the rankings as a genuine title challenger if she battered Zelina Vega in the final.
Much like Xavier Woods on the men's side, Shayna isn't quite in the final yet. She has to beat Doudrop on Raw, after all. Being honest though, that seems like another bout that's a formality. If Baszler gets to Saudi and stares across the ring at Zelina, then she's taking home the crown.
Surely!
