Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey are currently holding the Undisputed WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship and the MMA duo is definitely the strongest Tag Team in the women’s division of WWE right now. The women’s Tag Team division had been extremely poor and Triple H is relying on this MMA duo to elevate the division.
Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey had been pretty strongly since teaming up and it would not be very wrong if we address this team as the most menacing Tag Team since the introduction of the women’s division. Surely, the officials have big plans for this deadly MMA duo.
The Battle Of MMA Titans: Shayna Baszler Reflects On A Potential Feud With Ronda Rousey
There had been a big rumour on a potential feud between this duo as well. Some media sources claimed that WWE officials are in talks to book a dream match between the duo for WrestleMania 40. Speaking with “WrestleRantare” Baszler answered all the questions of a potential feud against her best friend;
“I mean, we’ve talked about — so in combat sports, it’s kind of this rule in MMA or amateur wrestling, Jujitsu, whatever — It’s kind of a thing where if I have the title, and my teammate works their way up through tournament and takes out everyone and earns their spot, as my friend, it would be disrespectful for me to deny them that or to refuse to give them that opportunity. It’s almost offensive if the person bows out like, ‘Oh, she’s my teammate. I’m not gonna be –‘ like, ‘Wait, you don’t think I have I can defend against you, what’s up?’”

“We have talked about how that story hasn’t really been told in a pro wrestling sense. It’s always like someone angry turning, whatever. A miscue, that’s whatever it is, but the story of how combat sports is, I think there’s an opportunity and untouched story along that path as well.” Said one half of the Women’s Tag Team Champion.
“All that being said, you know, we have these [the Women’s Tag Titles] to defend. If that comes along, you know, that comes along. It’s not like — I don’t know, we’ll see what happens. Like I said, we don’t want to be stuck in that mode where we have these so we’re not looking at the singles titles anymore. So we’ll see what happens.”
Ronda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler could definitely be an excellent feud and a match between the duo at a stage like WrestleMania 40 would definitely be a dream match but it is important to make sure that the duo receives very strong booking before that.
