Marina Shafir gets opponent for Pro Wrestling Eve debut
Death Riders member Marina Shafir now has an opponent for her Pro Wrestling Eve debut.
It was announced this week that Shafir will be part of the card for Eve x The World 2, which is happening in London on the Friday of All In weekend. Eve has now confirmed that Shafir will be facing Aliss Ink, an indie competitor and martial artist known as “The Scandinavian Dragon.”
Ink is from Sweden and wrestles across Europe for Eve, BODYSLAM Wrestling, and more. She was one of the opponents Mercedes Mone defeated during her belt collector tour last year.
Will Ospreay, who has joined up with Shafir and the Death Riders in AEW, helps book Pro Wrestling Eve. This Eve x The World event is being held at Big Penny Social on August 28. The announced card also includes Miyu Yamashita vs. Kay Lee Ray (former WWE wrestler Alba Fyre) for the Eve International Championship.
