Another WWE Superstar re-signs with the company.
Added 2024-09-06 19:15:41 +0000 UTCAnother WWE Superstar is there to stay.
Fightful Select's Sean Ross Sapp has confirmed that former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion and former NXT Champion Shayna Baszler has re-signed with the company. We're told the deal came together recently, as Baszler's WWE contract was set to expire this year.
An exact length of the deal is unknown, but Fightful confirmed it is a multi-year deal. Baszler recently joined the Pure Fusion Collective with Sonya Deville and Zoey Stark on WWE Raw, where they've been receiving a push.
The 44-year old Baszler is a pioneer of women's MMA, who also competed in the UFC. She signed with WWE in 2017, and has been with the company ever since.
In asking about Baszler's contributions and how she's viewed, one longtime WWE staffer said that Baszler approaches WWE void of any ego, and is always easy for the company to work with. One WWE higher up said that Baszler has long been helpful in many ways with newer talent as well.
WWE had a number of contracts that were up this year, and have managed to re-sign Baszler, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Humberto Carrillo, Angel Garza, Damian Priest, among others.

2024-09-06 22:25:07 +0000 UTCCandice LeRae also needs a midcard title, and then world title. With a PLE against Kevin Owens to renew their old rivalry… okay that last part is mostly a joke but I think that would be great haha

2024-09-06 22:24:14 +0000 UTCI really want her to get a legitimate singles push. She would be a great inaugural midcard title champion. I think WWE needs to write and book better midcard stories AND they need midcard women’s belts to FINALLY get casual fans to respect and cheer the women’s midcard.

2024-09-06 19:43:27 +0000 UTCI really do hope she gets to go on a real tear one last time. I think she’s been underused a lot since coming from NXT. When she first popped up and was gonna take on Becky I was so excited. And then it’s been meh ever since.
