AEW star Marina Shafir appeared on Talk Is Jericho to discuss various topics, including how she nearly owned a coffee shop with Roderick Strong gearing up for WWE NXT.

Shafir said, โ€œHe was living in Orlando but I was still living in Tampa working. I was working at Buddy Brew Coffee in Tampa, and I worked there through my entire pregnancy, and Iโ€™m thinking โ€˜alright, the world is my oyster. Iโ€™m going to own a f***ing coffee shop, manage the coffee shop, weโ€™re going to take this coffee industry by stormโ€™ right?โ€

On how she ended up joining WWE NXT:

โ€œBringing Troy with me to those tapings just to say hi to his dad and then I would leave, but like they wanted us there as like the Four Horsewomen, and they still really wanted to do that. So I got the opportunity to work for NXT and I would have been an idiot to say no.โ€
