Shayna Baszler came up short at WrestleMania 36 on Saturday night when Becky Lynch rolled her up to retain her Raw Women’s Championship at the WWE Performance Center. The match didn’t quite live up to the expectations fans had, nor did it bring the unbridled violence the two women had promised in the months leading up to the show. Instead it felt more like “The Man” had merely escaped against the inexperienced challenger, and that they’ll come back to this with future matches (though it’s up in the air as to when they’ll be allowed to have those given the ongoing coronavirus pandemic).

Baszler took to Twitter shortly after the match and left a somewhat ominous message.
I’ve seen this dark before. Shoulda killed me when you had the chance…. https://t.co/XMcGV9CANI

Meanwhile Lynch took a victory lap. Her reign as Raw Women’s Champion will hit a full 365 days early next week.

One thing that could trip up Baszler’s next attempt at becoming champion is Ronda Rousey. The UFC Hall of Famer teased during a recent video that she’d be back to get revenge on Lynch “soon,” which Lynch naturally used to taunt Baszler.
You better hurry up and beat me, Shayna. Auntie Ronda is casting her shadow again now you’ve got yourself a little bit of the spotlight. https://t.co/8ljhoXPW2Y
