WWE News: Ronda Rousey celebrates debut win at WrestleMania backstage with newly crowned NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler
What's the story?
Ronda Rousey celebrated her debut win at WrestleMania against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in a Mixed Tag Team Match with Kurt Angle as her partner by meeting Shayna Baszler, one of Rousey's close friends from UFC who also had a huge WrestleMania weekend in WWE.
In case you didn't know...
Whilst it's undeniable that Rousey had a huge night at WrestleMania given her incredible match against The Authority that sure must have silenced all of her potential critics and doubters, but Baszler also had a huge night at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans when she managed to capture the NXT Women's Championship by defeating Ember Moon.
The heart of the matter
Baszler and Rousey are two of the 'Four Horsewomen of UFC' which is why it's a pretty big deal that they're both seeing success in the WWE. Tim Fiorvanti from ESPN shared a lovely backstage moment between the two via Twitter, showing Rousey and Baszler hugging each other.
Ronda Rousey is surely going to go on to win a championship on the main roster after vanquishing Stephanie McMahon and Triple H and Baszler is a current NXT Women's Champion and probable future main roster Champion.
What's next?
Backstage moments like this are great, but I can imagine that if Shayna Baszler continues going the way she is going that she'll find herself at odds with her longtime friend in the WWE soon enough. The bouts between the two would be fairly incredible!
Author's take
Ronda Rousey truly was great in her match at WrestleMania which means that the possibility of a 'Mania main event featuring just women either next year, or the next couple of years a very real thing. Her career in the WWE is going to be an incredible thing to witness.
