New Report Indicates Shayna Baszler Has Returned To WWE In New Role

Shayna Baszler was released from WWE earlier this year, but has now returned to the company just two months later.

According to a report from Cory Hays, Baszler was backstage at NXT this week to produce the Kelani Jordan vs Lainey Reid match with Chris Girard. It's her first piece of work with the company since being released in April during post-WrestleMania roster cuts.

There is no indication as to whether or not Baszler will stay on as a producer for NXT, but the report indicates that it's typical for prospective producers to come in and shadow current talent in the role in a probationary way.

Baszler is a former NXT Women's Champion. Her run as champion is what she's most remembered for in in WWE, as she didn't have the same impact on the main roster. Baszler wrestled Becky Lynch for the women's championship at WrestleMania 36, but then settled in the middle of the card for the remainder of her run.

Baszler is also a multiple time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, winning the titles with Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey.

Baszler burst onto the scene in WWE after dominating the first-ever Mae Young Classic tournament. She made it to the finals of that tournament, but lost to Kairi Sane.

Before starting her career in professional wrestling, Baszler trained in mixed martial arts (MMA), specifically Muay Thai and Brazilian jui-jitsu, and fought in various promotions, including the UFC. She also starred in The Ultimate Fighter series where she was selected Ronda Rousey.

In addition to mixed martial arts and professional wrestling, Baszler also competed in submission grappling, most notably for USA Wrestling at the FILA World Grappling Championships and Frank Gotch World Catch Championships.

Baszler has also coached the Sioux Falls Rollder Dollz roller derby team.
