Appearing on a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Shayna Baszler talked about wanting her and Ronda Rousey to defend the WWE Women’s Tag Titles on a weekly basis.
On tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Rousey and Baszler will work a title unification bout against Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn. Baszler said,
“The pressure is on me and Ronda. If you were to take a poll, no one thinks anyone can beat me and Ronda. We have everything to prove, they have nothing to lose. On top of that, the meaning of those titles, if people don’t remember, I had [the WWE Women’s Title] before, and we were wrecking shop across all three brands during the COVID era, even though nobody remembers that. For whatever reason, they’re like, ‘Oh man, Bayley was the workhorse. She worked on all three…’ we did it too. All three brands. Went to NXT, beat the snot out of them so bad they were like, ‘we want tag titles too,’ and made their own. The titles live and die with me. They are only there because we decided to make NXT viable with a tag team and division, and now full circle, me and Ronda set out from day one, talking about this journey, we want to defend these every week, all the time. Let’s get some tag teams going and get a real division. We want to do this every week, and we want more than four weeks of work. That’s why Ronda said in that promo, we were going to wreck shop too much so we had to look towards NXT. There is no taking away that they are a great tag team, obviously. They work well together, they are the champions, but me and Ronda have been a team since 2013.”
