• Former NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler recently stirred some buzz beyond her in-ring exploits. As a former UFC fighter turned WWE superstar, Baszler’s reputation extends across multiple realms of combat sports. However, her latest attention wasn’t for a grappling match but rather a critique of WWE’s catering.
In a social media post on her Instagram, Baszler shared a video sampling WWE catering, specifically a lemon chicken dish. Despite her global reach and status within the wrestling world, Baszler didn’t hold back in her assessment, describing the food as passable at best.
Here’s what she posted:
“Lemon chicken something-or-other. 6.5/10 #wwe #wweraw #catering”
