WWE: 19 Professional Wrestlers with surprising MMA records that you may not know about

#3 Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler

When it comes to her run in NXT, with the exception of Asuka, there has perhaps not been a more dominant competitor in the women's division than Shayna Baszler. One of the reasons that Shayna has proved herself in the ring in WWE is because this is not her first introduction to professional wrestling. She toured the Indie Circuit and was a part of the World Wonder Ring Stardom before she was signed to NXT.

When she did appear on the scene, it was not long before she became the Champion. She had two reigns with the title and was the only person to do so, other than Charlotte Flair. Her combined days as Champion is second only to Asuka's single 510-day reign over NXT.

Baszler is now part of the main roster and is feuding for the RAW title. She is yet to repeat her success on RAW, but it is early days yet.

Before her time in professional wrestling, Baszler was a very legitimate fighter in MMA and had 26 fights. While she was not always successful, her time in different promotions saw her get quite a few big wins and earn a reputation for legitimacy.

Record: 15-11
