Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler were tag team partners for quite some time, and Jax credits Baszler for sending Ronda Rousey out of WWE.
Speaking with Q1057 for a new interview, The Irresistible Force gave high praise to Baszler for her work in MMA and sending Rousey packing from WWE. She said,
“She is a great expert at her Judo moves, she is a former UFC fighter. She did take out Ronda Rousey. Ronda Rousey just got sent to a whole other company lesser than us. Shayna does get credit for that.”
She added, “Being so close to her and knowing her every move, I definitely have some good counters. I’m a lot stronger than her. A lot more powerful. I think I’ll be okay.”
Jax and Baszler held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships twice between 2020 and 2021.
Rousey recently teamed up with Marina Shafir to defeat Billie Starkz and Athena in Tony Khan’s Ring of Honor promotion.
