Shayna Baszler is one of the most dominant women wrestlers in WWE. Sadly, her booking lately has tarnished that dominant image of her. This week on SmackDown, the ‘Queen of Spades’ lost to Natalya in just under thirty seconds. – that too, via a schoolboy roll-up. The sight of Baszler losing so quickly didn’t please anyone, and fans expressed themselves open-heartedly on Twitter.

Fans express dejection after Shayna Baszler loss
Shayna Baszler is one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions. She’s one of the best wrestlers on the roster, and despite that, WWE or ‘main roster’ WWE sees nothing extraordinary in her. Fans couldn’t believe their eyes when Natalya won clean over Baszler so quickly. Their emotions reflected through their tweets.
Natalya beat Shayna Baszler in 30 fucking seconds.

That’s it. I can’t take this anymore! The fact, that Vince “doesn’t get” Shayna Baszler, AN ACTUAL MONSTER OF AN MMA FIGHTER, and he books her to look like an absolute goon EVERY FUCKING WEEK, makes me lose all hope for his perspective…#SmackDown

Another Twitter user pointed out how the quick finish doesn’t affect either woman. The user made a valid point that the win is not to better Natalya’s positioning or dominance as a performer. It is instead to bring down Shayna Baszler’s strong, dominant look. In simple terms, make her lose like in the Divas Era of WWE.

The worst thing about that is that it will be used to bring Shayna Baszler down, not build Natalya up.

Shayna Baszler was an absolute monster in NXT, the very definition of a final boss champion who helped continue the legacy of the NXT Women’s title being one of the most prestigious titles in all of wrestling. Now she’s jobbing to Natalya in 30 seconds.

We completely agree with all those fans unhappy with Baszler’s quick loss to Natalya. It’s ironic how Shayna Baszler went from challenging Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship last year to losing to Natalya in thirty seconds!
