Shayna Baszler vs Ronda Rousey feud
The feud between Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler is not just a typical rivalry as Rousey & Baszler were not just friends in WWE. Both the superstars had shared a familiar journey as both are former UFC superstars. Ronda Rousey mainly gained popularity from her UFC or MMA carrier. Ronda Rousey & Baszler were also called part of the 4 horsewomen in MMA.
Baszler debuted in WWE before The Baddest Women on the Planet and also had an incredible run in NXT. On the other hand, Rousey directly had a main roster run where she holds Championship and also received major victories so far.
Rousey’s quick rise in the wrestling promotion seems to be the primary reason behind their feud.
Why did Shayna Baszler betray Ronda Rousey at MITB?
On the fallout edition after MITB 2023, Ronda Rousey called out The Queen of Spades and demanded an explanation for her betrayal. After that, Baszler confronted Rousey and started trolling her for her poor mic skills & botches.

But Ronda Rousey had a fast-track run in WWE as she already competed in major matches at WrestleMania. She went as far as to claim that Ronda Rousey had ruined her wrestling carrier.
Women wrestled for just 2 minutes of last Friday’s 2 hour show. You may be satiated living off the crumbs we’re thrown but I’m not.
