Shafir is the wife of current NXT Tag Team Champion Roderick Strong. She is one of current RAW Superstar, Ronda Rousey’s, best friends and is following her into the world of wrestling. Perhaps one day fans will see the full Four Horsewomen stable assemble inside the WWE ring. Currently Rousey is challenging Alexa Bliss for the RAW Women’s Title, as the duo will meet at SummerSlam next month.
Shayna Baszler is currently the NXT Women’s Champion and could be on the verge of being called up to the main roster within the next year. Shafir is just getting her feet wet in NXT, while fourth Horsewoman Jessamyn Duke isn’t too far behind her. In fact, Duke was expected to make her in-ring debut at the Largo live event yesterday as well. Duke had gone as far as Tweeting about wrestling at the event beforehand, however, she never worked the show and subsequently deleted those Tweets.
