"We could quit getting screwed out of opportunities" - WWE star furious after official announcement
A popular WWE Superstar recently took to social media to react to the company's official announcement ahead of this week's Monday Night RAW. The star was not happy about how things were going.
After making a huge name in the world of mixed martial arts, Shayna Baszler joined World Wrestling Entertainment in 2017 and started performing for the company's developmental brand, where she won the NXT Women's Championship twice. Baszler has also been successful since joining the main roster, winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship thrice.
However, in recent years, the WWE RAW star's booking has not been the best. She is currently a part of Pure Fusion Collective, alongside Zoey Stark and Sonya Deville, but they haven't won anything significant yet.
The red brand's General Manager Adam Pearce recently announced that Damage CTRL's Dakota Kai would be returning from injury on the upcoming episode of RAW. Pearce also said that Kai will team up with IYO SKY to face Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.
However, this announcement did not sit well with Shayna Baszler. The Pure Fusion Collective member took to X/Twitter to show her dismay after Dakota got an opportunity ahead of her and Zoey Stark despite coming back from injury. The star sent an angry message airing her frustration and said that she wished she were "fragile" to get all the opportunities in the world.
"Cool. Damage CTRL gets injured…..and gets rewarded again. If only @ZoeyStarkWWE & I were that fragile, we could quit getting screwed out of opportunities," she wrote.

Tommy Carlucci is not a fan of Pure Fusion Collective in WWE
During an edition of Behind The Turnbuckle: The War Room podcast, Tommy Carlucci said that he believed Pure Fusion Collective's Sonya Deville could be on the same level as Charlotte Flair if the Triple H-led creative team gave her the opportunity.
Carlucci also said that he was not a fan of Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark, and Deville's stable and believed the latter was wasting her time in PFC.
"She potentially could be on Charlotte's level if you let her grow as a superstar, folks. That's how good she can be. She did it before. She was with Mandy Sacs [Mandy Rose], and I don't see what they're doing with her now; I don't get PFC; I don't get the name, and I'm not interested. But yes, she's wasting her time," he said.
Reports recently came to light that Sonya Deville would be done with the company as soon as her current expires as WWE has decided not to renew it. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler in the coming weeks.
