Shayna Baszler Emerges As Potential NXT General Manager After Ava Exit – Shortly after Ava confirmed her departure from WWE, former NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler has publicly signaled her interest in stepping into the now-vacant NXT General Manager role. The timing of Baszler’s comments immediately caught attention, coming just hours after Ava announced that her appearance on Tuesday’s episode of NXT was her final one with the company.
Baszler took to X, formerly Twitter, to make her intentions clear in a simple but effective way. She first shared a GIF of herself pointing at her chest, then followed it up with a direct message that read, “Oh? @WWENXT needs a new GM.” The post quickly gained traction among fans, many of whom began debating whether Baszler would be a fitting replacement for Ava.
Ava officially confirmed her WWE exit via Instagram, explaining that her decision not to renew her contract marked “a new turning point” in her life. Her departure closed the book on a historic run, as she became the youngest General Manager in WWE history during her tenure. While her time in the role was relatively short, she played a key part in shaping NXT programming, including overseeing major announcements and brand developments.
Baszler’s name carries significant weight within NXT history. As one of the brand’s most dominant champions, she helped define an era of the NXT Women’s division with her hard-hitting, submission-focused style. That same no-nonsense reputation is what has fueled speculation that she could thrive in an authority role, particularly one that often requires enforcing order and making difficult decisions.
Whether WWE has internal plans for Baszler or is considering outside options remains unclear. However, by publicly expressing her interest, Baszler has positioned herself firmly in the conversation. With NXT now in need of new leadership, her brief but pointed message has made her a candidate worth watching as WWE determines who will fill the General Manager role moving forward.
