WWE News Roundup: Real-life detail in Roman Reigns' storyline, female star's dirty joke, talent frustrated over Becky Lynch match (June 25, 2021)

#3 Shayna Baszler reflects on her WWE WrestleMania 36 match against Becky Lynch

Last year's WWE WrestleMania event emanated from the Performance Center without the presence of a live crowd.

The RAW Women's Championship match between Shayna Baszler and Becky Lynch took place during the first night of the pay-per-view. Lynch successfully retained her title in a match that lasted eight minutes and 30 seconds.

Before the pandemic forced WWE to relocate to the Performance Center, WrestleMania 36 was originally supposed to be held in front of over 70,000 fans at Raymond James Stadium.

Recently speaking to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, Baszler revealed that she was frustrated over the bout with Lynch and the circumstances surrounding it.

“I remember pulling up to the Performance Center for WrestleMania, sitting in my car, and feeling really angry. We’d worked too hard. I was so frustrated," recalled Shayna Baszler. "Would things have been different with a crowd? Or did things change because of it? There are so many what-ifs, but you can’t sit and dwell on it.”

Many fans had expected Shayna Baszler to become the new RAW Women's Champion at WrestleMania 36.

While that didn't turn out to be the case, even Becky Lynch admitted last year that she wanted Baszler to defeat her at The Show of Shows.
