Shayna Baszler is the latest wrestler to sign a new multi-year WWE contract.

Fightful reports that Baszler — whose contract was slated to expire this year — has re-signed with WWE. The deal came together recently, the report says.

Randy Orton, Asuka, Berto, and Angel are among the others who have inked new agreements with WWE in recent months.

“WWE went to a number of people whose deals are coming up over the next several months to sign new contracts,” Dave Meltzer wrote in the new issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. “Asuka was announced publicly. There may be others but WWE did not confirm them.”

The 44-year-old Baszler is part of Pure Fusion Collective in WWE, a faction also featuring Zoey Stark and Sonya Deville. This Monday, Baszler defeated Vega in a singles match on Raw after distractions by Stark and Deville. Pure Fusion Collective then beat down Vega and Lyra Valkyria in a post-match angle.

Baszler — a former MMA fighter — has been a two-time NXT Women’s Champion and three-time WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion during her pro wrestling career. With WWE’s permission, Baszler has wrestled at two Josh Barnett Bloodsport events this year, winning matches against Masha Slamovich and Miyu Yamashita.
