5 Facts you need to know about WWE'S Jessamyn Duke

Jessamyn Duke is perhaps the lesser-known member of The Four Horsewomen of MMA since Duke has been featured the least on WWE TV over the past two years.

Whilst Ronda Rousey has been tearing it up on the main roster, Shayna Baszler has been dominating NXT and Marina Shafir has been part of storylines including her husband and fellow WWE star Roderick Strong, Duke has remained on the sidelines.

This past week on RAW, The Queen of Spades was joined on the main roster by Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke since the women were spotted backstage before their RAW Underground debut.

Whilst Shafir was able to wrestle her first match at Underground this week, it's thought that Duke will make her debut in the coming weeks as the former MMA stars look to dominate Shane McMahon's show.

Jessamyn Duke may have skated under the radar in WWE since she signed in 2018, but here are some facts that every fan needs to know about the former Ulitmate Fighter.

#5. WWE Superstar Jessamyn Duke has a puppy named Isis

Throughout her WWE career, Duke has been assigned to NXT which means that she doesn't have to travel as much as the stars on the main roster and so has more time at home.

Duke is dedicated to her dog who is named Isis. Isis is still a puppy and Duke has noted in several Instagram updates that he was a rescue dog. Duke also lives with a dog called Prince Stannis. Stannis is a five-year-old English Bulldog and has his own Instagram page where he can be seen hanging out with the Four Horsewomen and Mia Yim.

Stannis is owned by Mia Yim and is treated like a child by the current NXT Superstar who's also known as The HBIC.

#4. WWE Superstar Jessamyn Duke is a self-confessed gamer

Many current WWE stars are huge fans of gaming including Tyler Breeze, Seth Rollins, Big E, and even Kofi Kingston. The most famous gamer in WWE has to be Xavier Woods who has gone on to become a hit on Youtube with his show, Up Up, Down, Down.

Duke is a self-confessed gamer and streams on Twitch regularly to the point that Ronda Rousey once stated in an interview that Duke gets paid more for her streaming than she does for her fighting.

Duke even has her own merchandise from her gaming career which she has promoted several times on her Instagram account and is selling outside of any merchandise associated with her WWE character. Her most recent release is a hoody with the slogan "OKAY GAMER" which has become the line that Duke has become known for.

Duke has quite the following on her Twitch streams and even updates images on her Instagram to show off her impressive setup at home where she is able to game using three different screens.

#3. Jessamyn Duke does Matt Riddle's WWE entrance better than he does

Jessamyn Duke hasn't wrestled on WWE TV many times in her short career, but she has been part of a number of NXT Live Events including the Halloween show in Orlando back in November 2019.

NXT presented a Women's Battle Royal as part of the show which saw many female wrestlers on the roster dressing up as their favorite WWE characters while others dressed as stars from games and movies. Tegan Nox was dressed as Kane, Rhea Ripley became Triple H, and even came to the ring with Shane Thorne dressed as Chyna while Jessamyn Duke became Matt Riddle.

The former MMA fighter was able to pull off her fellow WWE star's entrance just as well, if not better than The Super King of The Bros himself, even though Duke didn't go on to win the match. Shayna Baszler picked up the victory dressed as Darth Vader since the former NXT Women's Champion was able to use the force throughout the match to give herself quite the advantage.

#2. She is roommates with WWE Superstars Shayna Baszler and Mia Yim

Jessamyn Duke was able to come to WWE alongside her friend Marina Shafir which meant that she wasn't in the same position as many new recruits who have to go it alone.

Duke and Shafir joined WWE back in 2018, but ahead of this, it was revealed that Shayna Baszler, Mia Yim, and Duke were all roommates. The three women have worked together in NXT over the past few years and have become close friends in throughout their time in WWE.

Before the three women began living together and calling themselves BRE (Best Roommates Ever) Duke was roommates with her fellow members of The Four Horsewomen. Ronda Rousey, Duke, Baszler and Marina Shafir all lived together while training in Venice, California.

The three women have their own pets in their home together and even upload videos on YouTube where they are all out of character and sharing stories.

There were a few months where it was rumored that Duke was set to wrestle Mia Yim but this match sadly didn't take place on NXT.

#1. WWE's Jessamyn Duke was ranked on the PWI 100 in 2019

Jessamyn Duke signed with WWE back in May 2018 and went on to make her debut a few months later at Evolution.

Duke and Marina Shafir joined forces with Shayna Baszler when they finally signed for WWE and went on to make numerous appearances alongside The Queen of Spades on NXT TV.

Duke and Shafir wrestled on NXT as a team back in October 2019 when they looked to defeat Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai to become No. 1 contenders to the Women's Tag Team Championships, but were defeated.

Outside of her on-screen career, Duke continued to train and made many appearances at NXT Live shows which was seemingly enough for the star to be ranked at number 69 of the top 100 female wrestlers in 2019 by PWI.

Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, and Tessa Blanchard made up the top five of the list. Marina Shafir also made the list at number 72 just ahead of fellow WWE stars Mickie James and Piper Niven.
