Jon Moxley wants what’s best for all of the AEW roster, including Marina Shafir.
Shafir has shown that she has grown as a competitor in AEW in her time there. The former MMA fighter has challenged for several championships in AEW, competing with the best the women’s division has to offer.
Speaking to Swerve Strickland & Monteasy on the Swerve City podcast, Shafir discussed getting advice from Moxley.
“It’s really cool because he just gives me little feedback after my matches. He states some obvious shit sometimes that I just don’t see. Maybe it’s just the way he’s said things to me that I absorb it a little better. His perspective on what I do is interesting and some of the things he’s suggested for me, that I tried, clicked. At this point, I have to take it one match at a time. I know my role. I still have work to do, but I’m not very far off and I’m not going to be far off for a long time. It’s going to be clicking for me, whether it wants to or not. He’s definitely helping me use that shit together. I also don’t feel like I’m stretching myself thin. this is such a special opportunity that is here now. I’m getting an opportunity to learn how an authentic me operates within this system. I need that pressure. It forces me to chill out and enjoy this process because it’s a moment in my life.
“This all started because we had a meeting and they were like, ‘let us know if you need some help.’ Everyone left, I went up to him, ‘I need some help. I want to work.'”
Marina Shafir
Shafir joined AEW in December of 2021 and as mentioned previously, has challenged for the TBS Championship and more in the promotion. We will have to wait and see what comes next for one member of the MMA Four Horsewomen.
Jon Moxley is set to team with Claudio Castagnoli to take on Brandon Cutler and Michael Nakazawa on tonight’s edition of AEW Dynamite.
