Jon Moxley explains why a 36-year-old ex-WWE star joined The Death Riders: "Unf**kwithable"
AEW star Jon Moxley is currently having one of the best runs of his career. He is the leader of The Death Riders, which comprises Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and PAC. Moxley is also the reigning World Champion.
The Death Riders' Marina Shafir is one of the most popular female stars in the company. She is a force to be reckoned with due to her hard-hitting wrestling style and MMA background. The 36-year-old has not competed in an AEW ring since joining the stable.
Moxley has immense respect for the former WWE star and trusts her with all his heart. Furthermore, he feels like Shafir is immensely inspirational. In a chat with TV Insider, The Purveyor of Violence said:
"Marina is great. I only surround myself with people I trust and people of the highest quality of character and integrity because I don’t have time for bullsh*t. Marina has earned that respect with me. She is that kind of person who is unf**kwithable as they say. I find her to be an inspiring person to be around. The thing about her is she has done as much or more work in the last two years than anyone. Just getting better at her craft, and pro wrestling. I’d say more than anyone in the f**kin business. Definitely, anyone in AEW." [H/T: TV Insider]
Jon Moxley was impressed by Marina Shafir's recent match on DEFY
Marina Shafir is the reigning DEFY Women's Champion. Earlier this month, she locked horns with Shoko Nakajima and retained her gold. Jon Moxley watched the title match and was quite impressed by Shafir's performance.
"She is going to England, Seattle, Texas. I just watched her match from DEFY this past weekend. She blew my mind," said Jon Moxley. [H/T: TV Insider]
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Marina Shafir in All Elite Wrestling. Will she pursue championship gold in the Tony Khan-led company after her success in DEFY? Only time will tell.
