WWE superstars and Twitter go hand in hand. Several superstars have garnered a reputation for having really sweet moments with their fans on the social media platform, while some often get to face some nastiness that comes with fame. And Shayna Baszler had to face one such situation.
The former MMA star uploaded a picture of herself alongside Dakota Kai and Michin on X. A picture that gives the fans a glimpse of the bonds that the superstars share. However, the wholesome moment was ruined because of a troll who decided to share not-so-pleasant thoughts. All this to be shunned by Baszler, who did not hold back at all.
Several fans showed their love for the WWE superstars after the picture came to light. However, one detractor decided to pick on the trio instead. A user decided to share his belief that the three superstars in the picture weren’t champions because they have ‘ugly tattoos.

Shayna Baszler uses Rhea Ripley to counter a troll’s illogical statement
However, this truly irked Baszler, as she replied in her own way. She fired back at the fan by praising Rhea Ripley and reminding the fact that Rhea Ripley has ruled the division for a year. And she surely has half her body inked. Baszler also added that the troll should “eat a bag of d*cks.” As she wrote, “None are champions…” except we’ve all been champions. Strange (STUPID) thing to say in a division ruled for over a year by Rhea Ripley. Kindly, eat a bag of d*cks.”

But while the former MMA star won against the troll, she did have to face defeat at NXT Battleground. The two WWE wrestlers, Lola Vice and Shayna Baszler recalled their time in MMA at UFC Apex. Facing each other in a rather interesting match in the NXT Underground concept. Similar to the Raw Underground that Shane McMahon wanted to implement a few years ago in WWE.

The match was an intense one, with multiple holds and masterful grappling. At one point, Vice placed Baszler in a rear naked choke. Baszler then escaped and hit Vice in the head with a kick, knocking her down. Following it up with a scene from an MMA fight as a series of right and left punches connected. She then caught her opponent in the Kirifuda Clutch. Vice bent Baszler’s leg to free himself from the key. Baszler missed with a flying knee. In response, her opponent connected a rotating fist. Making Baszler limp out of the ring.
The Climax featured Baszler punching the security guards and placing Vice in a triangle. However, she managed to break free and kicked Baszler against the steps of the ring. Then Vice landed another swivel fist on Baszler. Then, she hit her opponent with his hammer fist and the referee stopped the fight to give Vice the win. After such an intense fight, we can clearly say that these women are more than capable of being champions if the WWE Books them right. Irrelevant to the number of tattoos they wear.
