Former NXT Women's Champion seemingly teases forming an alliance with Ronda Rousey
WWE Superstar and former NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler has seemingly teased a potential alliance with long-time Ronda Rousey. Baszler and Rousey are part of the Four Horsewomen of MMA alongside Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke.
During WrestleMania 38 weekend, Rousey uploaded a video to her official YouTube channel that showcased several backstage bits. In the same video, Rousey was seen interacting with Baszler.
While much of the conversation mainly focused on Rousey discussing her general body transformation post-pregnancy, many fans online latched onto the fact that the two superstars ended their conversation by repeating "soon" in a low tone.
In reaction to their backstage interaction, Baszler took to Twitter to further tease the WWE Universe. The Queen of Spades reacted with the following tweet:

Shayna Baszler recently competed at WrestleMania 38 where she and Natalya challenged for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. The duo of Baszler and Natalya failed to dethrone Queen Zelina and Carmella at the Show of Shows.
Instead, the team of Naomi and Sasha Banks won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship for the first time. The Boss and The Glow did so by winning the titles in a Fatal 4-Way Match also involving Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley.

Ronda Rousey was also unable to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 38
Ronda Rousey challenged Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WrestleMania 38. Unfortunately for Rousey, she was unable to dethrone The Queen, who retained her title after a massive ref bump in the match.
. @MsCharlotteWWE the kind of pain you brag about inflicting on me isn’t even enough for me to eat for breakfast - it’s the pastry I eat with my coffee before breakfast because I don’t want drink my mocha latte on an empty stomach. #AndTheNew #WrestleMania38 https://t.co/ECV8zL55UR
In the aftermath of WrestleMania 38, Rousey reflected on her match against Flair. The Baddest Woman On The Planet simply labeled Flair a "cheater," as she said the following:
"I'm all sore. I got screwed. I tapped out Charlotte and the ref didn't see it. I was trying to wake up the ref, Charlotte tried to ambush me from behind. What a world. Charlotte cheated. I should have been ready for a cheater. There should be no amount of cheating that can beat me, that's how good I have to be." (h/t Fightful)
Flair and Rousey will face off in an I Quit Match at WrestleMania Backlash, as the former UFC Champion will hope to get her hands on WWE gold once again.
