Former WWE Star Addresses Return Rumors

WWE

A former WWE star has addressed reports and rumors that they’re expected to return to the company in a full-time role.

Shayna Baszler departed WWE in July, although she worked backstage during her non-compete period and appeared during September’s NXT Homecoming TV special.

A subsequent report would reveal that there are those in WWE who “expect and hope she takes a coaching or producing position.”

Baszler has now commented on a potential backstage role in WWE during a recent interview with Catch Club.

The three-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion noted that while she plans to continue wrestling for the time being, she feels it’d be natural progression for her to eventually become a coach, adding:

“It’s something that’s very fulfilling to me, coaching, helping people learn about wrestling. I think I have a lot to give in the ring still, so I want to concentrate on that and get that out of my system.

“I think obviously the natural progression would be to coach. I always say, people sometimes go to school, college, university for 10 years to become a doctor or professor or something like that. I spent all my time learning combat arts, so my university was in the martial arts gym, learning how to submit people.

“That’s where my level of expertise is; it just makes sense to pass that on. I had really good coaches that did that for me, so I think I’d like to pass that on too.”

Baszler has also commented on her championship run in NXT, calling it a highlight of her life.
