WWE Wrestler Shayna Baszler Shows Dark Angels Pride in the Ring

Shayna Baszler is a certified badass – her MMA and WWE titles are numerous – and she’s a big Warhammer 40k fan.

Baszler chose to align herself with the 1st Legion for her first fight in the Queen’s Crown Tournament this week, combining their regalia with her signature Queen of Spades motif.

It turned out to be a good choice because she made it into the semi-finals (her next match is this upcoming Monday on RAW). Check out the action…

This isn’t the first time Baszler has shown off her love of 40K – she’s talked about the lore on Twitter, and worn chaos gear in and out of the ring. That Khorne shirt goes well with her WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion belt, don’t you think?

I can’t find evidence that she plays on the tabletop, but she is a 40k video game fan. Here she is playing Battle Sister VR.

It’s clear that D&D isn’t the only fandom represented in wrestling. It’s awesome to see the universe repped in the ring and I hope we see more of it.
