Shayna Baszler believes former WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey is under-appreciated
Shayna Baszler won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship alongside Ronda Rousey earlier this year. The Queen of Spades, however, attacked the latter in a championship match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez at the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. As a result, the duo lost the titles.
Baszler's vicious assault on her tag team partner led to a feud between the two former mixed martial artists. Shayna defeated The Baddest Woman on the Planet in an MMA Rules match at SummerSlam. It was Ronda Rousey's last match in WWE before she parted ways with the company in October.
During an interview with WrestleZone, Shayna Baszler talked about the unnecessary hate Ronda Rousey faces. She defended the former Women's Champion, claiming that the latter is under-appreciated:
"I think Ronda Rousey is, I think she’s under-appreciated. I think people like to hate her for whatever reason, and it’s been that way in MMA — it’s because she doesn’t mince her words. People like to, because they don’t like her personally, they like to try to erase what she’s done for women’s sports, women’s combat sports, the UFC & WWE. They like to minimize that just because they don’t like her personally and I think that’s a shame. I might not be on the best terms [with her], but I will never deny that she did a lot for women’s combat sports. I think she’s under appreciated in some sense.”
