This writer has had enough of Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax as a tag-team.

It was fine for a while, and it's nice that they've been made to look like dominating champions, but Shayna is wasted in a shadow role for Nia's (sort of) love story with Reginald. It's high time Baszler broke out from the tag picture and burst back onto the singles scene.

On Sunday, she should roar as she stampedes through the curtain towards the ring. Then, Shayna must cut Bianca's celebrations short and remind the SmackDown Women's Champ that she has a big ol' target on her back whilst she holds that prize. It'd also be sweet if the announcers could act like this is huge news.

Shayna deserves this sort of spot. She should've thumped Becky Lynch at 'Mania 36 and been a solo star by now, being honest. Instead, she's been asked to bide her time as part of a double act. The wait, hopefully, is over.
