I took my first bump in the ring! It felt a little similar to breaking a fall in jiujitsu! Loved it! #WeAreNXT pic.twitter.com/VdHv8Y3AZc

Before signing up for WWE, she took part in the Abu Dhabi Jiu-Jitsu Open Cup 2014 and won a silver medal in her weight category.

She won another silver in Emirates Super Cup 2013 and a bronze in Asian Jiu-Jitsu Open Cup 2013 held in Dubai.

Her Sister Arifa Bseiso is a top boxer in her native Jordan and Arifa is the one who introduced her to Martial Arts.

Profesional Wrestling is very different from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but her BJJ will positively help her inside the WWE ring and will be an interesting add-on for Shadia's character.
