Dasha, who usually only does ring announcing, does have wrestling experience. She was originally hired by WWE as a wrestler and competed in one NXT match. However, AEW's QT Marshall noted on Twitter Monday that she'd been training with Shawn Spears at Flatbacks Gym.
I have not. She’s been training with @Perfec10n at @FlatbacksT
