Shayna Baszler is getting her WWE tryout. Squared Circle Sirens has confirmed that Baszler, who transitioned from MMA to wrestling a year ago when she faced Cheerleader Melissa on September 26th, 2015, is at this week’s tryouts in Orlando.
Baszler last fought in MMA at UFC Fight Night 62, losing to Amanda Nunes. She was released from the company after and has since gone on to work for various indy wrestling promotions. She is the current AIW Women’s Champion, having won it on September 9th from Heidi Lovelace, and helped train Nikki Bella while the latter was working on her return from injury over the summer. Those moments are expected to be featured on Total Bellas and Total Divas. Baszler made her debut for SHIMMER in June.
