5 Potential Power Couples WWE Could Use Post-SummerSlam 2017
4. Roderick Strong And Marina Shafir
NXT's killer video packages did a terrific job raising the stock value of Roderick Strong, but his long-time girlfriend Marina Shafir didn't get as much attention. Which is a bit surprising, considering she's one of MMA's Four Horsewomen, with Ronda Rousey, Jessamyn Duke, and Shayna Baszler.
That should change soon, given how hard WWE has been pushing a narrative of MMA's Four Horsewomen vs. NXT's Four Horsewomen. During the Mae Young Classic tapings, competitor Baszler jawjacked with the NXT horsewomen after beating Mia Yim.
If WWE gets their way and a Four Horsewomen Vs. Four Horsewomen program is coming, that not only puts Shafir in the spotlight, but Strong as well. Does he side with his wife (and, by association, MMA) or with WWE?
With Baszler in already, and rumors of Rousey coming to WWE, could Shafir be far behind? That could make for one hell of a power couple, between Shafir's submission skills and Strong's devastating backbreakers.
