American professional wrestler and former mixed martial artist, Shayna Baszler is one of the most dangerous-looking female pro wrestlers of all time. Maybe that's what makes her a great heel in the WWE ring.
WWE and UFC both list Shayna at 5'7" - which coming from them - could be slightly over the real thing (they have a real history of it). We compared Shayna with pro wrestlers like Ronda Rousey (a quarter-inch over 5'5"), Rhea Ripley (5'7"), Becky Lynch (5'5.5"), and some others, and now think that Shayna looks closer to 5'6" than 5'7".
5'6" or 168 cm

Data collected more or less from Wikipedia and some other sources. All heights are supposed to belong to relatively young people of the urban areas, so they may come out slightly over the real average height. Expect a slight discrepancy from real life.
