WWE News: Vince McMahon unhappy with Shayna Baszler for using MMA techniques

As per Wrestling News, Vince McMahon did not want Shayna Baszler to apply her MMA fighting style inside the WWE ring and decided to curb her appearances after victory over Natalya this week. It is also rumoured that Vince McMahon has strictly ordered his employees to avoid using MMA techniques in his promotion.

Finally, Shayna Baszler parted ways with MMA with a professional record of 15-11 and joined hands with WWE in 2017.
