WWE's Shayna Baszler Deletes Another Controversial Tweet

Did the Raw star just side with Ronda Rousey then back out?

WWE's Shayna Baszler posted a controversial message on her official Twitter account just hours after beating Sarah Logan to qualify for Money In The Bank on Raw.

The tweet said, "You think you know what REAL is? #Reality #F—Kayfabe", but was promptly deleted.

It's unclear whether or not Baszler herself decided to erase the post, or if WWE stepped in and told her to, on Monday night. The interesting thing here is that Shayna appeared to be siding with recent sentiments from Ronda Rousey about pro wrestling's legitimacy (and her scathing attack aimed at WWE fans).

There's a chance this could all be part of some branching storyline. Either that or it's complete coincidence and Baszler was only echoing her old MMA pal's thoughts for real before thinking better of it.

Shayna had already used some colourful language during the build towards her WrestleMania 36 match with Becky Lynch, so this isn't exactly new ground for the ex-NXT bad ass. The "f*ck kayfabe" bit is unlikely to please WWE though.

Is there more to this story, or was Baszler only chiming in on Ronda's previous, defiant statements? You decide.
