WWE landed a big-time signee when Shayna Baszler was announced as the newest member of the NXT roster. Shayna comes to the company with a plethora of quality experience not only in wrestling but in various other realms of combat sports as well.

Prior to signing with the company, Shayna had excelled in MMA and had begun to make a name for herself as an independent professional wrestler, with appearances in Ring of Honor and Shimmer, just to name a couple of top promotions.
The few fans who have yet to see Shayna in action, they are indeed in for a special treat. She's not the typical "girlie-girl" that the WWE Universe has grown accustomed to. She's quite the opposite. Shayna is a rugged, tough and relentless performer that we will enjoy watching, hopefully, for years to come.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
