Shayna Baszler: Regardless Of How Long It Took To Get Here, I’m Not Going To Waste My Opportunity

Shayna Baszler has been waiting for an opportunity, and now that she has it, she intends to capitalize.

Following her victory in a gauntlet match for a shot at the gold, Baszler will challenge Liv Morgan for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship at WWE Clash at the Castle. The former NXT Champion’s feud with Morgan has marked her return to singles title picture for the first time in a number of months.

In an interview with Rick Ucchino of the Bleav in Pro Wrestling Podcast, Baszler noted that, with all the change in the air lately, it’s a fitting time to step up and “get some stuff done.”

“Obviously the dream for anybody that gets into this business is like win the title on a big show and have your moment,” said Baszler. “It just so happens, you know, I don’t even think it’s as far back as 2020, but real recently there’s been this kind of like, I don’t know… what am I doing right now? You know? And then that gauntlet match came about and it was like, okay, let’s go. And it was like the perfect time of like, this change is about, right?

“Change is in the air. This whole thing happens and there’s a gauntlet match. And the women open SummerSlam and all this crazy stuff happened. I think that very next Raw, the women were all over the show. They had like threes matches and it was like, okay, now’s the time to really get your poop in a group and get some stuff done. So, yeah, I don’t know. Regardless of how long it took, it’s happening now and I’m not gonna waste it.”

As for her match with Morgan, Baszler described how they’re telling a relatable story because the bout will determine whether the champion can “hack it”, one way or another.

“The story going in is like, everyone can relate to,” Baszler said. “Like, can she hack it? I don’t know. She knows what she’s getting into and she’s deciding to still get into it. So, is that wise or not? Regardless of who comes out of this the champion, you’re gonna know can Liv hack it. You will know one way or the other, whether she wins or loses, you know what I mean? There’s not gonna be any question marks.”
