Four Horsewoman of MMA, Jessamyn Duke, has been impressing her coaches at the WWE Performance Center. In fact, the former UFC fighter has been declared “a natural” much like her training partner, Ronda Rousey, has been.
Sean Waltman was backstage at NXT WarGames over the weekend. He mentioned that he was speaking to people backstage from developmental who are very impressed with Duke’s progression.
“I’m getting some high praise for Jessamyn Duke actually,” Waltman said on his latest podcast. “She’s doing fantastic from what I hear.”
Waltman said that is the opinion of those in high-up positions in developmental who are impressed with her. “Apparently, she is (a natural),” Waltman continued.

Duke started her pro MMA career in 2012. She then competed on the Ultimate Fighter in 2013 and received Fight of the Night honors for her bout with Raquel Pennington.
By 2016, Duke was focussing on a Twitch video game streaming gig along with friend and teammate, Shayna Baszler. Once Baszler was signed to NXT and Rousey to WWE, Duke moved to Orlando and the team set up camp there. In May, she started training at the Performance Center along with Marina “the Supernova from Moldova” Shafir at the PC. Shafir is married to Roderick Strong and the couple had a child together last year.
