There were reports that former NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler was listed as a producer for the most recent episode of NXT. The Queen of Spades opened up about the report.
Baszler recently went live on her Twitch channel to talk about the reports of her being listed as a producer for the July 8 episode of NXT. She revealed that prior to the episode, she was present at the WWE Performance Center. She shared the story of how Bryan Danielson enlightened her about the significance of being behind the monitor and watching the show on a headset.
The Queen of Spades shared that she continued to be present at NXT shows while being on the main roster to help her get better as a performer. She also downplayed her role as a “producer,” but rather was just present at NXT and happened to put on a headset.
“So, I would do it just to learn to be a better… I knew I could get on a headset so I started sitting on a headset just to listen to the calls to learn, again, about being a performer… It helps you understand the TV part of wrestling, which is what WWE is, and so I was doing that. A couple of my friends got the okay because technically, I’m still under contract with them. To help out with some stuff in the ring, it happened to be on a Tuesday, I happened to sit on a headset, that’s it. That’s literally all that happened, guys…” [H/T Fightful.com]
Shayna Baszler hopes WWE offers her the role of a Producer
The former WWE Superstar then went on to mention that she hopes that the higher-ups in the WWE look at the reports and offer her a position in NXT as a producer.
“But yeah, could the possibility be there? Sure. I would have to decide if I’m ready to be done. But that’s a whole other thing. I still think I have some stories to tell, maybe? But, I don’t know… All I can tell you is, is it a possibility? Sure, always, especially because I’ve kept such a good relationship at NXT and like I said, that was a place I’d always hung around. Just didn’t really feel the need to tell anyone but, who knows? Who knows? Maybe they’ll see everyone talking about it and want to do it now. I don’t know.
“Like I said, that would be great, right? I can’t throw myself on the floor till I’m 60. But, as of right now, I have no job. Well, I shouldn’t say that. As of right now, I’m still under my 90 days left. But, as for anything else, who knows? A side of me kind of hopes they see everyone talking about it and then they think about it because what leverage that would have for me,” Shayna Baszler said.
