After departing from WWE, Ronda Rousey ventured into ROH and Wrestling REVOLVER where she joined forces with Marina Shafir to take on the team of Billie Starkz and Athena. Rousey has been inactive in the wrestling scene ever since that match.
During a recent interview with Monteasy, Shafir looked back on the matches. She said,
“Well, right from the jump, I never thought it was going to f**king happen to be 100% honest with you. I thought that ship had sailed. It’s always going to be a part of my identity in wrestling and I’m so proud of that, like, that sisterhood and what it has encompassed. I get to have those memories for the rest of my life. Being able to tag with her and being able to wrestle with her, I never thought that was going to happen, it just wasn’t meant to be like that for me, especially with how things went down. She called me out of the blue, ‘Whatcha doing?’ Ronda — I’m very lucky to have someone in my life who very rarely makes any excuses. When she has a personal legend that she’s got to live out, it’s so wonderful watching her work towards it. I got to be a part of that and like I said, I just never thought that it would’ve ever happened and it did and I’m still buzzing about it. I still buzz about all those moments, all of the little things, all of the bullsh*t leading up to that f**king moment and just how much we gelled and how we were a well oiled machine and that was our first time wrestling together. We looked like a unit and we didn’t even have to try.”
