#3 WWE management doesn’t fully trust Shayna Baszler… yet

Shayna Baszler was one of the most dominant Superstars in the history of the women’s division of the NXT brand. Baszler is the only woman to hold the NXT Women’s Championship twice, holding the title for 548 days over both her reigns.

The Queen of Spades made her main roster debut during the women’s Royal Rumble match earlier this year and despite a strong performance, did not win the match. Charlotte Flair won the match even though Baszler needed to the win more.

Baszler then attacked Becky Lynch on her RAW debut, leaving the champ in a bloody heap. She went on to destroy her opponents inside the Elimination Chamber, becoming the first person in WWE history to eliminate every other Superstar in an Elimination Chamber match.

However, the big stumbling block now is what happened at WrestleMania. Baszler losing to Becky Lynch shows that management doesn’t fully trust her yet. This follows reports last month that said Vince McMahon wasn't fully convinced by Baszler despite how strongly she was booked after her main roster debut.
