5 WWE stars who should receive a push after the 2021 draft

#2. Shayna Baszler (current WWE RAW Superstar)

Shayna Baszler is one of many WWE Superstars who has not yet fulfilled her potential on the main roster after a successful run in NXT.

In February 2020, The Queen of Spades made an unforgettable statement on her RAW debut by biting the neck of then-RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. She went on to eliminate five superstars in an Elimination Chamber match to set up a WrestleMania 36 encounter with Lynch, which she lost.

Since losing that match, Baszler has mostly been involved in tag team storylines and comedy segments with Nia Jax.

Baszler viciously attacked Jax on the latest episode of RAW after several weeks of dissension between the two-time Women’s Tag Team Champions. Jax has since been ruled out for an undisclosed amount of time, which leaves Baszler in need of a new rival.

The former MMA star worked with superstars on RAW and SmackDown during her two tag title reigns with Jax. However, both brands still have fresh faces who Baszler could take on in singles competition after the draft.

Carmella, Liv Morgan, and Zelina Vega are among the current SmackDown superstars who Baszler has never faced in a televised singles match.
