He posted a pic on Twitter with the caption, “Ronda Rousey & Marina Shafir vs. Brian Kendrick & Taya isn’t a match I expected to hear about today”. Rousey even posted the video of the entire match on her Instagram so her fans could enjoy it. She said, “Lucha VaVOOM was honestly the best lucha/burlesque hybrid show I’ve ever had the pleasure of jumping into unannounced. Anyone who doubted me and Marina Shafir could make magic in the ring is an idiot – thank you Taya Valkyrie and Brian Kendrick for being down to get down with us.”
