Her televised debut was on the December 27 episode of NXT when she attacked Kairi Sane. Shayna soon went on to become the NXT Women’s Champion as she defeated Ember Moon by technical submission.
The Queen of Spades held the title for 416 days before dropping it to Rhea Ripley. She became the sixth longest reigning women’s champion after Sensational Sherri’s reign of 441 days.
The MMA star defeated Shotzi in what would be her final match in NXT.
