Shayna Baszler was cut from WWE in early 2025, but that didn’t stop her from working backstage during a recent WWE NXT taping. A report, first shared by Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net, claimed Baszler had been listed as a producer for the Kelani Jordan versus Lainey Reid match from the July 8, episode of WWE NXT. On Twitch, Baszler confirmed this to be the case.
I happened to be at the (WWE) P.C. working with people and I’m not gonna out the people that requested I work with them.
Baszler’s exit from WWE caught many by surprise given that she had been active on WWE’s main roster at the time. Reflecting on a possible return to WWE as a producer, the former Women’s Champion wasn’t opposed to the idea.
The possibility be there? Sure. I would have to decide if I’m ready to be done. But that’s a whole other thing, you know what I mean? I still think I have some stories to tell.
For now, Baszler is ready to do more in the ring, and teased a potential move to Japan once her 90-day non compete expires. Whatever comes next, the Queen of Spades is keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
