Two members of the “Four Horsewomen” of MMA, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke announced that they’ll be making their NXT in-ring debuts this Thursday at an NXT house show in Largo, FL.

Shafir and Duke officially signed WWE contracts in May and have been training at the WWE Performance Center since. They’re both part of the “Four Horsewomen” of MMA, along with Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. During last year’s Mae Young Classic, WWE teased an angle between the “Four Horsewomen” of WWE (Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch) and the Horsewomen of MMA, but that angle was delayed (if not dropped).
