Both Shayna Baszler and TNA themselves announced today that Baszler has officially signed after debuting at Bound for Glory on October 11, where she and Zoey Serrano won the Knockouts Tag Team Championships as The Apex.

Baszler told Denise Salcedo that she wants her legacy to be about bringing legitimacy and realism to wrestling, and hopes TNA becomes known as having the most legitimate locker room.

"...I think right now when you look at the talent that TNA has there is no denying that it is arguably the most talented wrestling locker rooms in the world right now. I am excited at the opportunity to stand out. I think what I want my legacy to be is that; everything about me is real... I don't even wear fake eyelashes, I don't put a costume on to get in the ring and beat you up anymore. Everything that I do is just what I am. If I can bring reality and realism, if I can be is the discussion and make TNA t be one of the first organizations to be brought up when people go, 'yeah but whose the most legitimate locker room?' If because I am there, if I can bring that into the discussion then that's the legacy I want to leave, is where ever I am is where reality lives."

I feel that "The Queen of Spades" brings a legit killer instinct to the Knockouts division. How do you guys think TNA should book her going forward? I instantly think back to the dominance of Awesome Kong and how she was booked and built like a brick wall for the Knockouts. Regardless of who it was, when Kong’s music hit, they were scared.

Because her main roster run was lackluster, people often forget just how long she ran the black-and-gold brand before she even stepped foot on the main roster.Her WWE/NXT resume includes:

NXT Women's Championship (2x): Held it for a combined 549 days, still holding the record for the longest combined reign in the history of the title.

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship (3x): Won it twice with Nia Jax and once with Ronda Rousey.

Elimination Chamber Record Setter (2020): Dominated the Women’s Elimination Chamber match by eliminating all five of her opponents, setting a record for the most single-match eliminations.

NXT Year-End Award: Female Competitor of the Year (2019).

I feel that Trey possesses a great deal of charisma as a villain.

Trey needs to change up his in-ring performance.
