Shayna Baszler reflects on her rivalry with Rhea Ripley from NXT and makes it clear she can get it anytime she wants.
Shayna Baszler reflects on her rivalry with Rhea Ripley.
In late 2019, Shayna Baszler and Rhea Ripley began a rivalry for the NXT Women’s Championship that was one that lead to an incredible moment when Ripley dethroned Baszler for the title on the December 12th edition of the program. Prior to that, the pair had been in the women’s War Games match at the titular Takeover event.
Since then, Rhea and Shayna have only faced off one on one in two singles matches, once in August of 2021, and the other being on the October 16th episode of RAW earlier this month.
While speaking to TNT Sports, Shayna reflected on her battles with Rhea Ripley and noted that Ripley is one of her favorite rivalries.
“I remember first and foremost that we thoroughly enjoy beating the snot out of each other. It sounds crazy. Maybe it’s people on the outside, but I think because of that, Rhea is definitely one of my favorite rivalries. As much as, and I think it’s like in every sport even as a player in that sport that, sure you want to beat your opponent in the most dominant like lopsided fashion and you’re gonna try. But I think all of us kind of like, very much enjoy those back and forth drag out, kind of, these wars like that, and you enjoy watching those more. You know what I mean, there is this side of me that loves that. So I know with Rhea, I’m gonna get that, every time we get in the ring, so she’s definitely one of my favorites. I know I ended up not on the right side of that match, but my match I had where Rhea took the title from me is one of my favorite matches. I’d love to carry that on. You know what I mean, anytime, anytime she wants to get it, she can,” she said
