Shayna Baszler discussed on this week’s The Bump the longstanding rivalry between the MMA Horsewomen and NXT Horsewomen.
Here is what she had to say:
“Well, here’s the thing that I always argue, that I think people misunderstand is that, when we say we’re the Four Horsewomen. Like, we’ve never denied that those four girls are great wrestlers. They put the NXT women’s division on their shoulders at that time, you know? Talking like 2014-ish. They built that first, kind of like, wave up. We’ve never, ever, ever denied that they’re not four great wrestlers. But we are an actual team. Those four have never gotten along ever at the same time for more than two minutes at the end of a PPV. We are an actual team. You can’t just pick like, eleven great football players and call them the 2019 Chiefs, you know what I mean? There was a specific team that was a team.
“So we’re not saying they’re not great wrestlers. But we’re the team. We’re the actual team. So that being said, if they wanna decide that they can get along for more than a couple minutes at a time, and they wanna try to piece together a game plan where they can work together against us four that have been friends for years, actual friends and an actual team? They can go ahead and try. Bodies are just submissions waiting to happen, we’ll happily get in there with them.”
