Quote from Jon Moxley

"Marina has become my lieutenant, my head of security, the heart and soul of the entire operation. If every wrestler in this sport worked as hard every single day as Marina Shafir, everybody would be a thousand times better. The work ethic that she has, the approach to this game, living the life, not just talking about it but living it. Living the life of a professional athlete, a professional wrestler. If she has a big match one night and I wake up in the morning, and it's the afternoon because I sleep in, and I look out the window and she's down at the pool doing exercises, shadow boxing, and then I pull up at the building an hour later and she's outside the building jumping rope. Looking like a pitbull, then that night, goes out there and goes to war. She never turns it off."
