Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on Monday’s Raw.
At a time when it is already speculated that the two may have a rivalry in the future, in an interview with Peter Rosenberg’s Cheap Heat, Shayna Baszler revealed that Ronda Rousey demanded to be WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion.
Ronda is Ronda, right? She has already been a female champion, she has already fought in the main event from WrestleMania. She still gets the loudest ovations when she goes to the ring.
This was something she demanded. We’ve been asking for this for a long time, but she finally put her foot down, went to the office and said: “Listen, we’ve been asking for this for a long time. They are always telling us: Later, later, after this and this”.
Honestly, I don’t know if she hasn’t demanded it, if it ever would have happened. I was not yet in a position to be elevated to Ronda’s level, hence the fact that Ronda said: “No, I want to do this because this is what I started fighting for.”
So I think this is very important. She could be in main event from SummerSlam. She doesn’t need to be where she is, which is raising these titles.
Yeah, it’s just a direction I don’t think they would have looked, just because Ronda is who she is.
As much as they love her or hate her, she stands out and always has. It was like that in MMA. At least I want people to understand this is happening because she demanded it. She demanded to work with me as a friend, so it’s cool to have someone who isn’t really interested in themselves.
In show business, that’s pretty rare, so it’s pretty cool.
What expectations do you have for this reign of Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions?
