Shayna Baszler has become a fan favorite in her feud with her former best friend, Ronda Rousey. Ever since she betrayed Rousey at Money in the Bank, fans have shown massive support for Baszler. Speaking on WWE’s The Bump, The Queen of Spades explained that her heel turn has gained her more fans.

Shayna Baszler said that sports fans generally have a conscience about what’s right and appropriate. She explained it with an example of a boxing match where the fans just cheer for whoever they like. She believes that the same thing is happening with her now. Despite her heel persona, the 42-year-old is still getting support from fans instead of Ronda Rousey.

It was Shayna Baszler who brought The Rowdy One into WWE. And now that Rousey has achieved a lot in WWE, a feud with her best friend will bring her journey full circle.
