Shayna Baszler breaks silence after quietly returning to WWE in a new role after being fired

A few hours back, the wrestling universe began buzzing about the reports of Shayna Baszler's WWE return in a backstage role months after being released. The Queen of Spades has now dropped a cryptic message on her X account.

Baszler was among the several names who were shown the door from the Stamford-based promotion in May this year. The former UFC star had been with WWE for eight years until that point, having signed with the company back in 2017. However, it seems like her departure was short-lived, as it was recently reported that Baszler was back in the promotion as a producer.

According to BodySlam, the 44-year-old star produced the match between Kelani Jordan and Lainey Reid alongside Chris Girard. It's also worth noting that it's not clear if she will remain in the role for the long haul, as she was still being tested.

Following this, several fans took to social media to sing her praises. Shayna Baszler recently reacted to one such message.
