There was an unbreakable bond between wrestling heavyweights Ronda Rousey and her bestie Shayna Baszler. That was until Shayna felt like she was being used by Rousey to do all her dirty work.

Hence she betrayed her, thus costing them their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Later she challenged her to an MMA Rules match at SummerSlam which she won rather convincingly. Although it’s just been a few days since her victory, Baszler has already proclaimed her new bestie in the WWE.

The whole WWE universe was flabbergasted when Bazler attacked Rousey during their Tag Team Championship match at MITB. Thus making them lose the Championship to Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.

After all the support you’ve given me, especially through those difficult times, I offer my blood or Whateva . I got your back like you’ve always had mine. #BRE4L”.

That was the day the feud began, and it finally ended with Baszler destroying Rousey via TKO at SummerSlam by applying the ‘Kirifuda Clutch’. And just one week after humiliating Rousey in the ring, she further added insult to injury by announcing her new best friend to the world.
