This isn’t the first time Baszler has hinted that she could become NXT GM, with the Queen of Spades previously pitching herself as a replacement for Ava ahead of Robert Stone being announced as the interim authority figure.

While Shayna Baszler officially exited WWE in July 2025, she has maintained a good relationship with WWE, leading to her working backstage as a coach and appearing on NXT, both of which she has done on several occasions.

Her most recent NXT TV appearance came on the March 3 episode, featured in a video of Kelani Jordan training for her Underground match at Vengeance Day.
