WWE star Shayna Baszler has commented on the improvement for the women’s division under Triple H.
Shayna Baszler has quickly became one of the top stars on SmackDown since Triple H took over all creative duties for the main roster.
Speaking with Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, the former two-time NXT Women’s Champion discussed the regime change in WWE.
Baszler said:
“It’s exciting for everyone all around, not just talent. Production and crew people. It’s just an overall good energy right now. I think you are seeing girls get more time to tell their stories and do matches. For me, that’s like an answer you won’t hear from a lot of other people. Now I don’t feel rushed [in my matches]. I can go in and take my time and torture Liv as long as I need to.”
In regards to the recent returns of Dexter Lumis, Karrion Kross and Dakota Kai since the new WWE regime came into power, she said:
“It’s like new players in the game. The top guys are the top guys for a reason and we all look up to the vets that have been there, but now instead of like a slow build to introduce someone new, it’s like, ‘let’s put them on and let’s see.’ Sink or swim. It just happens to be that generation [of NXT] that’s up there and throw us in the water and tell us to sink or swim and we’re gonna swim all the way out of Alcatraz and dance on the shore.”
Shayna Baszler won a #1 Contendership Gauntlet on the August 5 edition of SmackDown and is set to challenge Liv Morgan for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Clash At The Castle on September 3.
