6 dream opponents for Shayna Baszler outside of WWE

#4. AEW | ‘Legit’ Leyla Hirsch would be a great opponent for Shayna Baszler

Leyla Hirsch hasn't been on the scene long but has made an impact in AEW, GCW and NWA

Leyla Hirsh has a background in amateur wrestling and could be a formidable opponent for Shayna Baszler. With her hardcore credentials, from her time in CZW, and her training in Japan, these two women have a lot in common.

Both worked for Stardom at one point in their careers but missed each other, these two have never had the opportunity to face off as Baszler began working for WWE the month before Hirsh made her debut.

With a combination of MMA, Catch and amateur wrestling in the mix, these two women would put on a real show. Take the bout to Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport for GCW and embrace their similarities in a worked shoot style match that shows off the best of both women. Sometimes you just want to see a beautiful match that focuses on body parts and joint manipulation.

#3. Ice Ribbon / SEAdLINNNG | Hiroyo Matsumoto will take Shayna Baszler to her limit.

Hiroyo Matsumoto has worked for WWE, Shimmer, SEAdLINNNG, and Ice Ribbon

Hiroyo Matsumoto is a legend of the Joshi Wrestling scene and might be one of Shayna Baszler’s toughest opponents to date, assuming the two get to finally face off. You could book this anywhere in the world and it would be a classic.

While both are stiff workers who have a hard-hitting style and are technically skilled inside the ring, their differences are what will make this work. While Shayna has a background in MMA and is all about the little things, Matsumoto is a powerhouse wrestler, using big strong moves to gain the victory.

Who will come out on top? who cares, give us a whole series of matches all around the world.
