Roderick Strong has been one of the shining lights of NXT. Along with the likes of Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish, he has set the ring on fire as part of the Undisputed Era. What many do not know is the fact that he is married to current NXT and former MMA superstar Marina Shafir.

Shafir is well known for her work in MMA with the Moldova born superstar considered to be among 'The MMA Four Horsewomen' along with Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke. She is regularly seen in Shayna Baszler's corner in both promos and bouts as part of a stable with Duke. Amid high expectations, she continues to develop her skills in the ring.

The couple also has a son named Troy, who has been seen a couple of times backstage. They tied the knot last year amidst close friends and family. Strong and Shafir are doing considerably well in stables as of now. It shouldn't be too long before they make the leap to the main roster and showcase their talents to a broader audience.
