5 Things we secretly learned from WrestleMania 36

#2 Shayna Baszler is yet to gain trust on the main roster

There's a long way ahead of Shayna Baszler

After losing her NXT Women’s Championship to Rhea Ripley, Shayna Baszler arrived on RAW in search of Becky Lynch. Baszler attacked the RAW Women’s Champion to make a statement and won her Elimination Chamber match against five other opponents to win a shot at The Man’s title.

The two locked horns at WrestleMania but Lynch managed to retain her gold.

Baszler is a promising Superstar who is everything that a Champion should be. She is one of the very few women who posed a credible threat to Lynch’s title reign.

However, it looks like the creatives still don’t trust her to lead the women’s division on the red brand and it will be a while before we will see her a champion.

After her match with Kairi Sane on RAW, there were reports which suggested that Vince McMahon was not very pleased with Baszler and did not see her as main-event material. She will need some time to gain some trust backstage and given her potential, it shouldn’t take her long.

Baszler is a dominant heel and can work wonders for the women’s division of the Red brand with the help of a few good storylines.
