Rhea Ripley's Stinkface Makes Waves At 3/24 WWE Live Event: Shayna Baszler Begs For A Dose, Nia Jax Crashes The Party

BY SACNILK

WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley's unorthodox move has the internet buzzing. During a live event on March 23rd, Ripley delivered a Stinkface – a maneuver made famous by Rikishi – on her rival Nia Jax. The surprising tactic went viral, adding another layer to their ongoing feud. ## Ripley's victory over Jax and Shayna Baszler in a Triple Threat match wasn't the only story of the night. The champion's playful tribute to Rikishi stole the show. ## The following night at a live event in Rockford, Illinois, Ripley looked to repeat the Stinkface on Jax. However, Baszler, seemingly unfazed by the unconventional move, intervened. ## In a bizarre turn of events, Baszler volunteered herself, positioning herself in the corner for Ripley's Stinkface. Unfortunately, Jax wasn't having any of it and broke up the moment before Ripley could connect.## Ripley's social media response to the initial Stinkface hinted at payback for Jax. Adding fuel to the fire, her fiance, Buddy Matthews, jokingly chimed in, revealing the move to be a "weekly occurrence" for him. ## Shayna is the entire IWC 🤣 #WWERockford pic.twitter.com/2F6mAZqmrg— The “Mexican Nightmare” Juan.

Shayna Baszler, a star of WWE, is set to step outside the company walls and compete at GCW Bloodsport during WrestleMania week. Her opponent? Masha Slamovich, current TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion. ## This marks a rare crossover moment for WWE, as talent typically isn't permitted to wrestle for other promotions.

Shayna Baszler To Compete At GCW's Bloodsport X During WrestleMania Week In WWE Policy Shift

Shayna Baszler to Compete at GCW's Bloodsport X During WrestleMania Week in WWE Policy Shift Shayna Baszler, a current star on WWE Raw, is set to make a surprise appearance at an independent wrestling event during WrestleMania 40 week. Baszler has been officially announced for Josh Barnett's Bloodsport X, taking place on April 4th. ## Bloodsport is known for its unique matches held in rings without ropes, with victories achieved solely through submission or knockout. Baszler's fighting style, which heavily emphasizes submissions, makes her a perfect fit for the event.## However, the bigger story lies in WWE allowing a contracted wrestler to compete for another promotion during WrestleMania week. Traditionally, WWE has been very restrictive with talent appearances outside their own shows.## According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Daily Update, this decision comes from a shift in policy under Chief Content Officer Triple H (Paul Levesque). Meltzer suggests Levesque has a more open view on such appearances compared to his predecessor, Vince McMahon.## While Baszler is the only confirmed WWE talent for independent events during WrestleMania week so far, hints suggest more announcements might be coming soon. This news follows WWE's establishment of inter-promotional partnerships this year, including NXT's Charlie Dempsey touring with All Japan Pro Wrestling and TNA's Jordynne Grace appearing in the Royal Rumble. ## Stay Tuned To Sancilk...

Ronda Rousey's Future Uncertain After WWE Departure, Shayna Baszler Hints At Rematch

BY SACNILK

Ronda Rousey, widely considered one of the most dominant competitors in wrestling history, left the WWE last summer after building an impressive career in both UFC and the global juggernaut. However, her former MMA teammate, Shayna Baszler, recently teased the possibility of a future showdown between them. ## At WWE SummerSlam 2023, these two members of the famed MMA Four Horsewomen squared off in a brutal MMA-style match. Baszler emerged victorious, marking Rousey's final WWE bout. Since then, Rousey has made appearances elsewhere, including alongside her close friend Marina Shafir in ROH. ## In a recent interview, Baszler revealed that Rousey is currently unsure about her future in the squared circle, indicating that her SummerSlam match was motivated by a desire to share the ring with Shafir one last time. ## "She doesn't know if she's calling it quits or planning a comeback," Baszler explained. "She's taking a break and wanted to make sure she had a match with Marina if this is it for her." ## Baszler went on to suggest that Rousey might be tempted to return for one final match, driven by a desire to avenge her SummerSlam defeat. "Knowing Ronda, she'll want her payback," Baszler said playfully. "Only time will tell." ## While Rousey has expressed her desire to focus on motherhood full-time, the wrestling world is notorious for its "never say never" attitude. It's not impossible that the "Baddest Woman on the Planet" could one day return to unleash her fury once again. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
