STARDOM's Utami Hayashishita Names New Finisher After Shayna Baszler
Utami Hayashishita is ready to rise up the ranks of STARDOM and hopes to do so with her new move inspired by Shayna Baszler.
During last night's STARDOM 5STAR Grand Prix 2023 - Tag 1: Opening Round event, Utami defeated Mina Shirakawa in a Block B match. The former World of STARDOM Champion used a new move to get the win, and in a post-show press conference, said the move is called the 'Shocking Baszler.' Hayashishita added that the move was taught to her by the WWE Raw Superstar.
Baszler herself would react to the tribute to her via a tweet, and is clearly pleased that the 'Red Queen' has adopted the move as her own.
At WWE Money in the Bank 2023, Baszler turned on Ronda Rousey, ending their tag team and reign as Women's Tag Team Champions. Despite an initial effort for Baszler to be the heel in this feud, WWE fans have rallied behind the Queen of Spades and rejected Rousey.
A match between the pair is expected to take place at Summerslam, with rumors suggesting this will be Rousey's final WWE match. Despite being at odds on TV, Rousey has requested this feud with Baszler to ensure her friend is prominently featured. Baszler has worked closely with Rousey and greatly helped the former Raw Women's Champion adapt from MMA to wrestling.
