During the latest edition of WWE’s “The Bump”, Shayna Baszler commented on the MMA Horsewomen vs. the WWE NXT Horsewomen. While a match between the MMA Horsewomen (Baszler, Ronda Rousey, Marina Shafir, & Jessamyn Duke) against the NXT Horsewomen (Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and Sasha Banks) has been speculated for years, it hasn’t happened as of now. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On her message to Io Shirai after Shirai’s Title win: “You know, I love working with Io, just because someone that brings such a different style as her is always interesting. The puzzle is interesting to figure out, you know. I’ve always talked about figuring out the puzzle of a human, and she’s a very specific type of puzzle. And that’s not to forget that she, in my opinion, is in the argument to be the best woman wrestler in the world. And I’ve beaten her twice, three times if you count a four-way, you know? So I have to just remind the people that the last time the locker room down, you know, the locker room in NXT and everything was in order was when I held the title. So I just gotta keep things fresh in people’s mind, because their memory of things that happened is only as long as their Twitter timeline.”
On the NXT Horsewomen vs. MMA Horsewomen feud: “Well, here’s the thing that I always argue, that I think people misunderstand is that, when we say we’re the Four Horsewomen. Like, we’ve never denied that those four girls are great wrestlers. They put the NXT women’s division on their shoulders at that time, you know? Talking like 2014-ish. They built that first, kind of like, wave up. We’ve never, ever, ever denied that they’re not four great wrestlers. But we are an actual team. Those four have never gotten along ever at the same time for more than two minutes at the end of a PPV. We are an actual team. You can’t just pick like, eleven great football players and call them the 2019 Chiefs, you know what I mean? There was a specific team that was a team. So we’re not saying they’re not great wrestlers. But we’re the team. We’re the actual team. So that being said, if they wanna decide that they can get along for more than a couple minutes at a time, and they wanna try to piece together a game plan where they can work together against us four that have been friends for years, actual friends and an actual team? They can go ahead and try. Bodies are just submissions waiting to happen, we’ll happily get in there with them.”
