Shayna Baszler Reacts To Herself & Ronda Rousey Hearing ‘You Can’t Wrestle’ Chants

WWE

Shayna Baszler has reacted to herself and Ronda Rousey hearing “you can’t wrestle” chants.

On the February 17 edition of WWE SmackDown, Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler defeated Natalya and Shotzi in tag team action. As the match got going, fans in Montreal chanted “you can’t wrestle” at Rousey.

On episode #92 of WWE Die Woche, Baszler addressed the chants and her partnership with Rousey. On the “you can’t wrestle” chants, she said:

“It’s funny because, I don’t know, I’ll say this here but it’s funny because you’ll hear, ‘You can’t wrestle’ or people tell us (Baszler & Ronda Rousey) we can’t wrestle, learn how to wrestle, all we do is MMA but it’s like, we’re probably the only two girls in the locker room, maybe on the roster… that know how to do a double leg takedown.”

“A real double leg, that’s wrestling, you know what I mean (Baszler smiled)? So it’s funny the way people think about us because we’re too good.”

When asked about the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships being defended on this Monday’s Raw, Shayna answered:

“Well I mean, I think if that opportunity presents itself which is definitely not something we’re gonna say ‘no’ to (Baszler & Ronda Rousey going after WWE Women’s Tag Titles), I think especially, once Ronda dropped the title recently with Charlotte (Flair), we had a talk and it’s not about the title or titles or any titles for either of us.”

“We are out to remind people — it seems people have forgotten just who Ronda and I are and so we’re here to remind them.”

“The title opportunities will come if we’re ourselves and we’re not taking any crap from anyone. The title opportunities will come along so I wouldn’t say it’s something we’re chasing necessarily but it’s definitely something that we see down the road.”

On the February 27 edition of WWE Raw, Damage CTRL’s Dakota Kai and IYO SKY will defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles against Becky Lynch and Lita.

When asked if she had her pick of the litter when it comes to a match at WrestleMania 39, Baszler said she would not mind being in a title match and then mentioned that she thinks she could have a “different” match with Asuka.

Noting that she would be down to go after any title, Shayna stated:

“I’d love anyone to have a WrestleMania moment, like a big title story that everyone is drawn into. So, you know, kneejerk, I’m gonna say who has the title right now.”

“I guess Damage CTRL since I’m with Ronda (Rousey) but I wouldn’t complain about a Charlotte (Flair) match or — those are already set but I’d love to be in a title match at WrestleMania.

“All that being said, you know, we talk about ring styles and stuff, I think that Asuka and I could put on a different looking match than anybody else.”

“Her coach, for people that don’t know, and Billy (Robinson) both trained under (Karl) Gotch so we kind of come from the same family tree so I think our toolbox of things we could use on each other, we’d have to dig a little deeper in there than we would against anyone else. I think it’d be great.”
