Marina Shafir Vows To Unleash Grief On Mercedes Mone At Full Gear

Marina Shafir has found her footing under the guidance of Jon Moxley and the Death Riders in AEW. Fans have started to rally behind her as she prepares for her most high-profile match to date. Shafir is married to fellow AEW performer Roderick Strong since 2018 and the couple have a 10-year-old son.

The pair have only had a few onscreen interactions despite their real-life relationship. She described her approach as one of consistency, dependability, resilience and presence every single week. Shafir explained that showing up consistently requires significant work especially while being a mom, an athlete, a wife, maintaining a home and handling outside obligations.

She noted that this commitment is the heart of everything for her. Shafir said she has sacrificed time with her son, family holidays and activities that bring her pleasure knowing those moments will be more meaningful when experienced. She added that she knows what she needs to bring every week unlike many others.

Shafir stated she cannot fully express what reaching this point means until after the match is over because imagined outcomes and reality often differ. She described having Roderick Strong as a support system who understands the roller coaster of the business particularly as a woman and a mom.
