Shayna Baszler has become known by the nickname "The Queen of Spades" throughout her career, something that her original trainer Josh Barnett began referring to her as in her early career but the actual story behind it is that it's down to her incredible skills with playing cards.

Over the years, Baszler has retained the nickname and is now using it in WWE with many fans unaware that the former Women's Champion is reportedly fantastic at card tricks. The Submission Magician herself has even admitted that this is where her nickname came from when asked about it by a fan on Twitter.

Despite Baszler being seen as quite a serious competitor in NXT and now on the main roster, it appears that she pulls out her old card tricks every now and again as seen here when she showed them off for Jessamyn Duke's Birthday a few years ago. The Submission Magician's card skills must make journey's from one arena to another much more entertaining for many of WWE's roster.
