Marina Shafir recently appeared as a guest on the Swerve City podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the women's wrestling star spoke about getting input from Jon Moxley and how much it helps her,
On Jon Moxley giving her input and how it has greatly benefitted her since signing with AEW back in 2021: "It’s really cool because he just gives me little feedback after my matches. He states some obvious shit sometimes that I just don’t see. Maybe it’s just the way he’s said things to me that I absorb it a little better. His perspective on what I do is interesting and some of the things he’s suggested for me, that I tried, clicked."
On how she’s aware of what her role is in AEW, and how she hopes to improve in that area so she can get more opportunities: "At this point, I have to take it one match at a time. I know my role. I still have work to do, but I’m not very far off and I’m not going to be far off for a long time. It’s going to be clicking for me, whether it wants to or not. He’s definitely helping me use that shit together. I also don’t feel like I’m stretching myself thin. this is such a special opportunity that is here now. I’m getting an opportunity to learn how an authentic me operates within this system. I need that pressure. It forces me to chill out and enjoy this process because it’s a moment in my life."
On what she initially went to him to ask for help for: "This all started because we had a meeting and they were like, ‘let us know if you need some help.’ Everyone left, I went up to him, ‘I need some help. I want to work.’"
