Marina Shafir breaks silence after her husband Roderick Strong's AEW debut

This week's AEW Dynamite featured Roderick Strong's first appearance in the company, leading to his wife Marina Shafir posting a cheeky message on Twitter.

The 39-year old star had a notable run in NXT, winning both the Cruiserweight and the North American titles at different points. He had also won the tag team titles several times, alongside his partners in the Undisputed Era faction. These achievements proved him to be a capable pro-wrestler, but he was quietly released by WWE sometime after his last match in 2022.

On the latest edition of Dynamite, Roderick Strong reunited with Adam Cole, saving the latter from a beatdown by the Jericho Appreciation Society. The two shared a warm hug after forcing the JAS to retreat. A short while later, AEW announced that Strong was now a part of the All Elite roster.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
