A big shake-up could be coming for the popular NXT stable.

NXT's popular Undisputed Era stable could be set for a surprising new addition, according to Dave Meltzer in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Per the write-up, WWE may look to add Marina Shafir (who is married to current Undisputed Era member Roderick Strong) to the stable should Shayna Baszler be brought onto the main roster, which is already an overdue call-up.

This would leave Marina and fellow Horsewoman Jessamyn Duke without a leader. In moving Shaffir to Undisputed, the idea would be that Duke could then be pushed as a singles wrestler.

Meltzer notes that WWE feel Shaffir would "add sizzle" to Undisputed, though he acknowledges that the quartet should really be part of the company's next batch of NXT call-ups, rendering this move impossible - at least in developmental.

Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O'Reilly first came together at TakeOver: Brooklyn III in August 2017. Strong was added to the fold six months later, and while the group once teased aligning with Brazilian prospect Taynara Conti, Shaffir would be their first true female member.

An interesting addition, particularly when considering how early Marina is in her development as a pro-wrestler, though it's far from certain.
