Shayna Baszler Makes Surprise Appearance On NXT Homecoming

Shayna Baszler made her return to NXT at NXT Homecoming, appearing in a backstage segment with Zaria and Sol Ruca.
Zaria was still upset with Sol over getting hit with a Sol Snatcher in a triple threat tag team match last Tuesday, which cost them an opportunity at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles.
Baszler appeared, telling them to get their act together. Baszler reminded them that she is a former NXT Women’s Champion and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion.
"Fix it, and you'll get everything you want."

Baszler was released by WWE in May, but has still been around the WWE Performance Center to help with training and be on the headset. Fans can learn more about how Shayna has helped with NXT since being released by clicking here.
