Two WWE performers have taken to social media to voice frustration about their current standing within the company. Shayna Baszler publicly supported comments made by Zoey Stark regarding how attention and opportunities are distributed among female wrestlers on the roster.

Stark initiated the discussion with a pointed message on X stating:

The things women do for attention.

Baszler amplified this sentiment by responding with her own statement:

They underestimate us. Don’t wake them up, we’re about to surprise.

The exchange has been interpreted by fans as criticism of WWE’s approach to promoting talent in the women’s division. Both wrestlers appear to suggest they receive fewer opportunities because they opt for less revealing ring attire compared to some of their peers.

This discussion follows Stark’s recent criticism directed at Liv Morgan, where she posted edited images suggesting Morgan’s presentation was inappropriate for the ring. Neither Baszler nor Stark currently features in prominent storylines on WWE programming, potentially contributing to their public frustration.

Similar concerns about appearance influencing opportunity in the women’s division have surfaced previously from other WWE performers, making this a recurring topic of discussion within professional wrestling circles.
