Shayna Baszler has spent over three years on WWE's main roster after she made a terrifying debut on Monday Night RAW by attacking Becky Lynch. Recently, she revealed that former CEO Vince McMahon gave her an odd directive of not to pro-wrestle on the main roster.

In 2020, Shayna Baszler appeared in the Women's Royal Rumble match and came very close to winning the match. Later, she arrived on the main roster and immediately attacked Becky Lynch on Monday Night RAW. The two feuded on the brand and faced each other at WrestleMania 36.

Unfortunately, The Queen of Spades lost the title match and Lynch went on a hiatus after a while. Speaking on Ring The Belle, the former NXT Women's Champion spoke about how Vince McMahon asked her not to do any "pro-wrestling" moves on the main roster after her arrival, Check it out:

"Yeah, I mean he said 'You have something everyone else doesn't do. I don't want you to do any pro wrestling'. Which was kinda confusing because then the next match he was like 'What was that?' It was a little bit of a transition to understand, you know. I think just the communication and style I was used to was different coming up. So it took a little bit."[From 3:05 to 3:28]

Nevertheless, it was a miscommunication between the two, and Baszler has been successful on the main roster as she won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships on two occasions with Nia Jax.


Shayna Baszler could possibly win her third WWE Women's Tag Team Championship in less than two weeks

Last year, Shayna Baszler teamed up with long-time best friend Ronda Rousey on the blue brand and the two stars became heels together as they wanted to work in the women's tag team division.

Earlier this year, Ronda Rousey returned to WWE from a hiatus and continued her partnership with Baszler. The two scored a big victory at WrestleMania 39 where they beat three teams in a Fatal 4-Way showcase match.

However, the two stars were injured and missed a few weeks after the event. Last week, Rousey and Baszler returned to WWE television and immediately went after Raquel Rodriguez.

On the RAW after Night of Champions, four teams including Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey will compete in a Fatal 4-Way match to become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
