In recent months TNA Wrestling has signed some notable former WWE stars such as Shotzi Blackheart and Zoey Serrano. Earlier this month Shayna Baszler made her debut with the company at Bound For Glory when she teamed with Zoey Serrano to defeat Allie and Kiera Hogan for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship.
Today TNA Wrestling confirmed that Shayna Baszler has officially signed with the company when the following announcement was posted:
“TNA Wrestling has signed Shayna Baszler, as first reported by Instinct Culture’s Denise Salcedo.
The multi-time champion in singles and tag team wrestling, Baszler is already a champion in TNA, as half of the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship with Zoey Serrano as The Apex – they won the titles at Bound For Glory on October 11, in Baszler’s TNA debut. Baszler made her pro wrestling debut in 2015 and also has had a long run in the MMA world, where she has 15 wins, with 13 by submission.”
Baszler shared her thoughts on the signing during an interview with Denise Salcedo when she said, “…I think right now when you look at the talent that TNA has there is no denying that it is arguably the most talented wrestling locker rooms in the world right now. I am excited at the opportunity to stand out. I think what I want my legacy to be is that; everything about me is real… I don’t even wear fake eyelashes, I don’t put a costume on to get in the ring and beat you up anymore. Everything that I do is just what I am. If I can bring reality and realism, if I can be is the discussion and make TNA t be one of the first organizations to be brought up when people go, ‘yeah but whose the most legitimate locker room?’ If because I am there, if I can bring that into the discussion then that’s the legacy I want to leave, is where ever I am is where reality lives.”
