Baszler will be subject to a 90 -day competition clause, which means that fans will not see it appear in another place until the end of summer as very soon. However, that has not stopped speculation. Given his history in MMA and his impressive curriculum in wrestling, he is likely to have many options waiting for her.

His fight against Rousey in SummerSlam 2023 She was one of WWE's rare Shot -style clashes, something that only she could offer.
