There were quite a few reports of how Vince McMahon wasn't impressed by Shayna Baszler and there was a lot of consideration about the spot she was going to have at WrestleMania 36.

It's not an easy spot to be in, to transition from NXT and instantly become a WrestleMania challenger for the biggest female star in the company today. If Elimination Chamber wasn't enough to prove those previous rumors wrong, then Sportskeeda's own Tom Colohue's word on it should, as he mentioned on a YouTube video that Vince McMahon hasn't given up on Shayna Baszler and that he's excited to see what she has to offer:

There was a report recently that Shayna Baszler had already soured Vince McMahon on her by producing a match that wasn't met by unanimous applause. To my knowledge, this is not the case. Vince McMahon is still very excited to see what Shayna Baszler can offer on the main roster and I think Elimination Chamber probably proved that point.

We hope this is true because they're in a rare spot of instantly making a major superstar out of someone. Baszler is ready for the spotlight.
