Former WWE Star Says They Miss MMA

WWE

A former WWE star has revealed that they miss competing in another sport that saw them achieve championship success.

Having competed in kickboxing and mixed martial arts prior to signing with WWE, Shayna Baszler recently answered whether wrestling or MMA is the harder pursuit.

Speaking to Catch Club, she would also reveal that she misses her time in MMA.

Reflecting on her career, she explained:

“I do. I do. I think I’ll always have that, though. I think… I say this when people ask about the coaching stuff sometimes, too. I don’t know if I’m one of those wrestlers or fighters that will ever be like ‘I think I’m ready to be ready to be done’.

“I think I’ll always have more. I’ve been competing in a combat sport since I was six. It’s in my DNA, so I think I’ll always have a part of me that misses that.”

Baszler would also share her thoughts on a potential WWE return following backstage role rumors, noting that coaching would be a natural progression for her.

Having departed WWE in July of this year, Baszler was backstage at NXT Homecoming during her non-compete period.

She has continued to perform on the independent scene, with her most recent match being at HOG x The Big Event SuperClash, defeating Maki Itoh.
