In a surprising twist on AEW Collision, a former WWE Superstar made headlines by spitting on her real-life husband during a match. Marina Shafir found herself in a conflicting situation as the Death Riders clashed with Paragon and the Conglomeration, putting her against her husband, Roderick Strong.
The tension between the couple escalated during a match between Strong and Jon Moxley at September to Remember. As Strong confronted his wife, who was in Moxley’s corner, Shafir couldn’t hide her smile despite her husband’s intense gaze. It was a rare on-screen interaction between the two, hinting at the personal dynamics at play.
Fast forward to tonight, and the stakes were higher as Strong and Moxley competed in a tie-breaker for the AEW Men’s Blood and Guts Advantage Battle. Once again, the married couple found themselves face-to-face in the ring. Strong exchanged words with his wife, leading to a shocking moment where Shafir spat on him when his back was turned. The disbelief and disdain on Strong’s face were palpable after the unexpected act.
While all of this was part of the storyline, it was intriguing to see AEW acknowledging the real-life relationship between Shafir and Strong. Fans had speculated about how their personal dynamics would play out, given that they were on different sides of the ring representing opposing factions. Shafir’s loyalty to the Death Riders was evident as she was willing to betray her husband for the sake of her team.
As the tension continues to build, all eyes will be on the upcoming AEW Blood and Guts event, where the paths of Shafir and Strong may cross once again. It will be fascinating to see how their on-screen personas navigate the complexities of their real-life relationship in the heat of competition.
