So, Shayna Baszler is not a vampire as I had assumed initially, but she's supposed to be an animal. While this week's drama did not measure up to what we saw from WWE last week, I was shocked when Baszler used a certain word that has been banned from the WWE vocabulary on live television.
There is a big fight feel to the proceedings when it concerns Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler, and I would be very surprised indeed if Baszler is not the winner coming out of the Elimination Chamber match at the pay-per-view. I really cannot imagine a bigger match for Becky Lynch at WrestleMania.

In many ways, I love the new gimmick because of how different it is and how Becky Lynch will have to dig deep to defeat the 'animal' in combat. Had it been another MMA star, Shayna Baszler would have been no different from Ronda Rousey.
Maybe Liv Morgan has a chance to go all the way in this storyline, but my money is on the Queen of Spades on this occasion.
