Shayna Baszler made a surprise appearance on the Sept. 16 NXT Homecoming episode.
In a backstage segment, Zaria and current double champion (NXT Women’s North American and WWE Women’s Speed Champion) Sol Ruca were having some fall out from their match last week. A match where Ruca accidentally hit Sol Snatcher on her tag team partner. They were first interrupted by Lainey Reid and then Candice LeRae. Reid and LeRae face off next week to determine who challenges Ruca for the Speed gold at No Mercy.
Baszler chased off LeRae and Reid followed by a pep talk to ZaRuca. She explained her history in NXT and her various tag team partners. She told them to “fix it, and you’ll get everything you want.”
At the time of this writing it isn’t known if Baszler is back with the company or if this was just a one-off. Baszler did not have her contract renewed a few months ago with WWE, ending her eight years with the company.
