Shayna Baszler Reflects On Her Triumph: A Candid Discussion About The Tag Team Championship Win
On making the tag team happen: “It’s just crazy to look back and think on, and also the fact that it’s not like we set up a plan. We just both wanted it and did our thing to get us here, and so here we are. It’s cool.” Said the three times WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler.
On fighting for the opportunity: “Yeah, man. That moment at the end of the match where I crawl back in the ring and we’re hugging was a real emotional moment. It’s just wild to think, like I said, when we think back to trying to pay for enough food to eat throughout the week and still make weight, and living in the beach in Venice, it’s weird.

“I can’t explain it. It’s weird to think that we talked about it, and it’s here, and it happened. I don’t think people understand, like people see Ronda as this big name, and she is, she’s Ronda. But I don’t think people really understand how much we had to fight for this. Maybe that’s something for a book in the future or whatever, but it’s not like it’s been easy. It’s not like this is just handed to us. We had to fight and claw and demand for this opportunity.”
On how they fought for the title win: “We just didn’t take no for an answer. It’s just one of these things, I remember actually Ronda had something and I’m paraphrasing, but we had gotten a ‘not yet,’ like not this opportunity yet, and I think Ronda said something along the lines of like, ‘Our passion for wanting to do this is bigger than their apathy for it happening. So it’s just cool to see the fruition of literally just working hard and not giving up. It’s so cliche sounding, but the proof is right here in front of people.”
The Women’s Tag Team titles have been terribly booked for the most time. It was never taken seriously by the WWE officials. But after the epic win of Ronda and Shayna, it looks like WWE is finally trying to restore the glory of the titles. We hope the situation of the titles improves soon.
