Some fans believe WWE has dropped the ball on Shayna Baszler as she has seemingly not received the same opportunities as Ronda Rousey. Wrestling Twitter recently reacted to Baszler's booking in the company.
Shayna Baszler made her main roster debut on the February 10, 2020, episode of RAW by attacking former RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch. She famously bit the back of Lynch's neck upon her arrival. While she has delivered some stellar performances inside the ring over the past few years, Baszler hasn't been booked in intriguing feuds.
A section of fans thinks the 4-time champion should get the same opportunities in WWE as Rousey because she would make it mean something, unlike her current tag team partner. Here are some of the reactions to The Queen of Spades' recent run:
One fan wrote that Vince McMahon booked her strong, considering Baszler's MMA background, but he did not like her performance on RAW, which made her career go downhill.
Another fan claimed that Baszler's NXT run was much better than Rousey's entire pro wrestling career.
A Twitter user noted that Vince McMahon 'squandered' Baszler on the main roster for two years.
One fan came to The Rowdy One's rescue and said that people seem to forget her fantastic run on RAW, and it's just a trend to hate on her.
A Twitter user wrote that Shayna Baszler is a veteran, and Ronda Rousey was still new compared to her. They mentioned people want Rousey to be shoved into the main event picture cause she's gifted.
Another fan came to Rousey's rescue and mentioned that her first run was better than what Baszler has ever done.
