Duke went 1-3 in the UFC before being released in 2015. Shafir, who's engaged to NXT Superstar Roderick Strong, was 1-2 during her professional MMA career.

WWE planted the seeds for a potential showdown between Rousey's Four Horsewomen and its own version - Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Sasha Banks - at the Mae Young Classic last year. With all now employed by the company, it looks like it may finally happen.
