Recently, we would see the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships become vacant. An injury to Liv Morgan would force this, and left an opening for new champions to be crowned.
A Fatal Four Way was set, and Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler would be the victors. This puts Rousey as a champion, putting a large spotlight on the belts once again – and this wasn’t an easy moment to reach for her.
Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler Didn’t Take No For An Answer About Winning Tag Team Championships
While speaking with TMZ Sports, Baszler would detail the moment that came with winning the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships alongside Ronda Rousey, and how they worked hard to get to this moment.
“Yeah, man. That moment at the end of the match where I crawl back in the ring and we’re hugging was a real emotional moment. It’s just wild to think, like I said, when we think back to trying to pay for enough food to eat throughout the week and still make weight, and living in the beach in Venice, it’s weird. I can’t explain it. It’s weird to think that we talked about it, and it’s here, and it happened. I don’t think people understand, like people see Ronda as this big name, and she is, she’s Ronda.
But I don’t think people really understand how much we had to fight for this. Maybe that’s something for a book in the future or whatever, but it’s not like it’s been easy. It’s not like this is just handed to us. We had to fight and claw and demand for this opportunity.
We just didn’t take no for an answer. It’s just one of these things, I remember actually Ronda had something and I’m paraphrasing, but we had gotten a ‘not yet,’ like not this opportunity yet, and I think Ronda said something along the lines of like, ‘Our passion for wanting to do this is bigger than their apathy for it happening. So it’s just cool to see the fruition of literally just working hard and not giving up. It’s so cliche sounding, but the proof is right here in front of people.”
