Shayna Baszler Addresses WWE NXT Producer Reports

Former WWE star Shayna Baszler has clarified recent reports linking her to a backstage producer role in WWE NXT, following her name being listed as the agent for the Kelani Jordan vs. Lainey Reid match on a July 2025 episode.

During a candid Twitch livestream, Baszler addressed the buzz and speculation surrounding her current role and future in the business.

โ€œI happened to be at the (WWE) P.C. working with people and Iโ€™m not gonna out the people that requested I work with them,โ€ Baszler said. โ€œSo please, the dirt sheets are usually wrong so do not believe stuff.โ€

She continued, explaining her presence at NXT was more about learning and improving as a performer than accepting a full-time producer role.

โ€œOne time when Daniel Bryan was backstageโ€ฆ he told me he learned the most sitting on a headset,โ€ she explained. โ€œSo, I figured during the times when I was home, I would go to NXT and I would sit on the headsetโ€ฆ just to learn to be a better performer. It helps you understand the TV part of wrestling, which is what WWE is.โ€

While addressing her status, Shayna revealed sheโ€™s technically still in her 90-day non-compete window after her May WWE departure, but she has not accepted any new role.

โ€œAs of right now, I have no job. Well, I shouldnโ€™t say that โ€” as of right now, Iโ€™m still under my 90 days left. But as for anything else, who knows?โ€

She emphasized that the door is open for a producer or coaching position in the future, but no formal deal is in place.

โ€œCould the possibility be there? Sure. I would have to decide if Iโ€™m ready to be done. But thatโ€™s a whole other thingโ€ฆ I still think I have some stories to tell, maybe?โ€

Shayna Baszlerโ€™s unique blend of MMA legitimacy and NXT dominance makes her a valuable asset both in and out of the ring. While she has left the door open to future WWE collaborations, for now, her career path remains undecided.

โ€œMaybe theyโ€™ll see everyone talking about it and want to do it nowโ€ฆ What leverage that would have for me.โ€
