#4 horsewomen of mma

[celestial-thoughts]

an update of sorts (platonic 4 horsewomen of mma)

Prompt 1: Wondering if you could do something with the 4 horsewomen talking all together and them talking to Shayna about her and Dakotas relationship and how it's been going??? Prompt 2: Wondering if you could do a platonic story with the 4 horsewomen(mma) about how shayna's changed since dating Dakota ???

Author's note: I'm so sorry this took me so long to finish! Between other life stuff, repeatedly getting sick, other writing projects, and a lack of inspiration, I just hadn't been able to do it until now. This takes place during Crown Jewel 2022.

Word count: 1.1k

"You know, we really should do this more often," Shayna remarks as she drops onto one of the couches in the living room of their hotel suite.

By some miracle Shayna, Jessamyn, Ronda, and Marina had managed to find a weekend when they were all free, and they now found themselves in a hotel in Vegas. It felt like forever since the four horsewomen had been reunited. But finally, they're all together again.

"Says the person who has the busiest schedule out of all of us," Jessamyn teases from the armchair.

"Ronda has the same job as me," Shayna points out.

Ronda laughs at this. "I'm not the one with a girlfriend that I'm madly in love with," she fires back. Shayna opens her mouth to protest, but Ronda shakes her head. "Don't try to deny it," she says. "We know it's the truth."

"What's the truth?" Marina says as she enters the room, her hair still wet from showering.

"That Shayna is in love with Dakota," Ronda says, crossing the room and sitting down next to Shayna. "How is that going by the way? I feel like we haven't really caught up in forever."

Shayna feels her cheeks flush as she holds back a smile. "It's good," she says, trying to stay casual about the whole thing.

"Just good?" Jess asks, raising an eyebrow at Shayna.

Shayna squirms a little, not quite making eye contact with any of her friends. "What answer were you expecting?" she asks. Ronda smirks at her, and Shayna immediately shakes her head. "Nope. Not telling you any of that," she says.

"Come on, since when do you keep secrets from us?" Ronda asks, playfully nudging Shayna's shoulder.

Shayna cracks a smile. "Since there are some things that I just want to keep to myself," she says.

Ronda opens her mouth to say something but Marina shoots her a look. Ronda pauses, rethinking her words. "Okay, you don't have to share anything you're not comfortable with," she says. "We just want to know how you've been. We've barely talked since you two started dating."

Shayna smiles at this. She really does have the best friends in the world. "I've been good," she says. "I've been really, really happy."

Marina looks up at Shayna from where she's sitting on the floor. "You seem happier," she remarks. "Not that you didn't seem happy before but," she trails off, as if searching for the right words.

"I get what you mean," Shayna says. "I think we've both finally adjusted to having a limited amount of time to spend together, which sucks but we try to make the most of it." Suddenly, her phone buzzes and she looks down to find a text from Dakota.

Dakota Kai: We're the second match on the card, in case you wanted to watch.

Jess looks over Shayna's shoulder at her phone and smiles. "Are you going to watch her match?" she asks.

"Of course I am," Shayna says, as she types a response to her girlfriend.

Shayna Baszler: Wouldn't miss it. Have fun out there. I'll be cheering you on from here.

Dakota Kai: Hopefully I don't mess up.

Shayna Baszler: You won't, I promise. And remember that no matter what happens, you'll always be my champion <3.

Dakota Kai: xoxo <3

Shayna puts her phone away and stands up to grab her laptop. She returns to the couch and pulls up Crown Jewel, setting the device on the coffee table.

"Don't you already know what's going to happen?" Ronda asks as they watch the opening match.

Shayna shakes her head. "Dakota wouldn't tell me anything," she says. "But for her sake, I really hope that the right decision was made."

"I'm guessing she didn't take the title loss very well?" Marina asks.

Shayna sighs. "She said that she was fine, but I could tell that it upset her," she says. "She was finally starting to find her confidence again, and losing the belt definitely rattled her."

Jess nudges Shayna's shoulder, nodding towards the computer. "It's time," she says.

Shayna turns to face the laptop, taking a deep breath. A women's title has never changed hands in Saudi Arabia before, but there's a first time for everything. Dakota and Iyo make their entrance and Shayna can't help but smile. Even without the title around her waist, Dakota has never looked more ready.

"Hey, don't forget to breathe," Marina says.

The match is back and forth, and Shayna flinches every time Dakota or Iyo kicks out of a pinfall attempt. At one point Dakota locks in a submission attempt on Asuka and Shayna can't help but smile.

"Did you teach her that?" Ronda asks, and Shayna nods.

They continue to watch. As Alexa climbs to the top rope with Dakota down on her back, Shayna feels her heart pounding. "Get the knees up," she says under her breath, hoping that Dakota is aware of the situation she's in. Alexa goes for twisted bliss, and Dakota gets her knees up to her chest just in time. Shayna lets out the breath she was holding.

As soon as Asuka and Iyo start going at each other, Shayna knows that if Dakota and Iyo pull off the victory it likely won't be clean. Not with the official distracted. Sure enough, Nikki Cross appears and takes out Alexa.

Dakota quickly covers Alexa, and Shayna doesn't miss the way her girlfriend screams for the referee. She holds her breath, hoping that this is it.

One. Two. Three.

Shayna lets out the breath. They did it. Dakota and Iyo are once again champions. She smiles, knowing that there will be a very happy Dakota coming home on Tuesday.

"I figured out what's different about you," Marina says.

Shayna looks at her, a confused expression on her face. "There's nothing different about me," she says.

"I mean since you started dating Dakota," Marina explains. "You find joy in her successes, even when things aren't going as well for you."

"She's right," Ronda chimes in. "I remember when I talked to you after Clash at the Castle. I expected you to be upset because you lost your match. But instead, you we're so excited because Dakota won her match."

Jess gives Shayna's shoulder a squeeze. "We're glad you've found someone who makes you so happy," she says.

Shayna smiles, thinking about all the times Dakota has made her happy when nothing else could. She thinks about how lucky she is to have Dakota in her life. "Me too," she says. "Me too."

4 Horsewomen

[blueonwrestling]

funny to think wwe had both their own marketed horsewomen and the mma 4 horsewomen under one brand and never did anything with them, and did so much damage to marina and jessamyn that they’re super irrelevant these days, and they’ve essentially killed all the buzz of shayna aswell.

almost as if they did it on purpose so they could have their own 4 horsewomen be the only ones.

just saying.

[gamergirl929]

Raw Underground is the perfect place for Shayna, Jessamyn and Marina to dominate the women's division since they are 3/4 of MMA Horsewomen

I would LOVE to see more Shayna, more destruction, I want her to beat on some of the dudes. 

[a-home-for-stray-stories]

I’ve had this theory for a little while, but haven’t been terribly confident in it until recent events. These events are more like omens that maybe my theory isn’t too far off. I want to document it before we get too much closer to WrestleMania to see how close I am, so here we go:

This WrestleMania we’re going to see the fall of WWE’s Four Horsewomen with the beginning of the rise of MMA’s Four Horsewomen. Thus sparking the build for next years WrestleMania, Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen.

Shayna is going to beat Becky and become Raw Women’s champion. Shayna is going to be the foot in the door for Marina and Jessaymn and eventually the calling card for Ronda.

Becky is already letting her ego get the best of her and she’ll be fine up until she gets in the ring with Shayna, but Shayna will tear her apart and leave her at rock bottom. She’s going to lose all her confidence and look what she’s done to all of her friends. She has no friends to pick her up, no one to rely on because her ego has told her she doesn’t need them.

Charlotte. She’s very egotistical too, but she doesn’t let it blind her. She sees Rhea. But...what happens when she gives everything she has and she loses. She gives Rhea her absolute best and Rhea beats her clean. What could hurt worse? What is she left with? And just like Becky, she’s alienated herself because who needs friends when you’re The Queen.

Bayley and Sasha. This one hasn’t had much development with Sasha off TV lately, but there’s been a lot of accusations thrown at Bayley that Sasha’s a bad influence. Where Becky and Charlotte are going to fall to outside forces, these two are going to be each other’s downfall. Either by the time WM gets here or at WM, they will be at war or sparking a war with each other.

After WM, WWE’s 4 horsewomen are going to be scattered and broken leaving room for MMA’s 4 horsewomen to move in and takeover. It’s a little too early to tell, but the way I think I’d like to see it play out is:

Shayna taking the helm until Ronda returns (possibly MITB, winning the briefcase and cashing in on Sasha, who possibly cheated Bayley of out the SD title). By Survivor Series, we have Shayna as an unbeatable Raw Women’s Champion, Ronda as SD Women’s Champion, and possibly Marina and Jessaymn as Tag Champs.

No doubt Becky is the first to stand up. She picks herself up, swallows her pride, and reconciles with Charlotte. Probably takes time, but they manage it. At Survivor Series, Becky and Charlotte are a cohesive unit and maybe we get the first showing of Ronda and crew beating them down. Sasha comes to help Becky and Charlotte, but Bayley obviously doesn’t.

Bayley is the last hold out. She’s done with all of it, especially Sasha. From Survivor Series to Royal Rumble, Sasha is fighting with Bayley again, but this time to get her to care again. To prove to her that she matters, that Bayley is the difference maker, because without her, they can’t win. (Poetic irony for Bayley being the last one out of NXT)

Royal Rumble. Ronda and crew cause the elimination of all 4 of the HW. (We get the first ever NXT Royal Rumble winner who challenges for the NXT Women’s Championship) We get another brawl, and finally Bayley joins in and for the first time the 4HW are able to hold their own. Thus finally having all the pieces in place for WM.

I’m not sure about moving the gold around, although it should be totally off the MMA 4HW by their defeat at WM, if not partially/totally before. Also, I could totally see a Shayna/Ronda feud happening. Where Ronda tries to shit on all things WWE and Shayna won’t have it.

[sunnytkm23]

3/4 of MMA Horsewomen now has a place to call home

[dimitrescus-bitch]

Encantada! When l read that you had 3 fics starring Becky on the way and none with Charlotte l thought to myself that was just downright criminal. So l am here to ask for Charlotte fic. As we probably never will get a 4 Horsewomen of WWE verus 4 Horsewomen of MMA l was hoping that you could do a Charlotte x F! Reader in which the reader is targeted by the 4H MMA due to her relationship with Charlotte and if the ending could smutty.

I don’t know what that first word means, but yeah, I’ll write this.

[undisputedshield]

I feel like maybe the reason Shayna's not been brought up, besides building her up as this insanely strong opponent, is maybe they want Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir to go with her and they're not ready, but honestly... next year if they bring lousey back for some 4 Horsewomen vs. MMA horsewomen I wouldn't be opposed... as long as Shayna's leading the MMA girls.

Yeah, Marina and Jessamyn are nowhere near ready.

I’m guessing we get the fatal 4 way between the horsewomen at Wrestlemania (or earlier), which could eventually set up the MMA horsewomen vs WWE horsewomen.

[womenswrestlingforum]

Bayleys reign fantasy booking part 2 - Horsewomen vs Horsewomen

In part 1, it ended with Ronda Rousey returning and her with her Horsewomen lay out Bayley and her crew.

11-25 RAW

The night after on Raw, Ronda introduces Baszler, Shafir, and Duke. She talks about their accolades and mma careers. She runs down the Faux Horsewomen, saying they only know how to play fight. She says she got screwed out of the Raw Women's Championship and challenges Sasha to a title match. But out comes Becky Lynch. Ronnie seems to have a bit of a gripe as it was her who beat Ronda at Wrestlemania and it's going to be her to send her back to whatever hole she crawled out of. Charlotte comes out and says last year at Survivor Series she laid Ronda out and left her a pathetic bloody heap and whenever she gets her hands on her again, she'll finish what she started. Later that night, Becky and Charlotte defend the tag titles against the team of Lacey Evans and her tag partner Mickie James, Team known as the Southern Belles. Ronda and crew sit ringside and watch, and ultimately interfere, costing the man and the Queen the titles. They beat those two down. No Sasha or Bayley present.

11-26 SD

Meanwhile, Bayley talks about what happened and how Ronda and her minions haven't seen the last of her. She then is confronted by Ember Moon. The shenom wants another shot at the belt and Bayley says she'll give her a shot for a shot. She takes her on in a singles match and wins with a roll up. Moon then attacks Bayley, turning heel.

12-3 SD

Ember Moon is on the titantron and says that she will take her moments from then on. Bayley comes out and says no matter what Ember says or does, she still lost last week and there are other women that deserve a shot. A 6 women gauntlet match is made to see who'll challenge at TLC.

Asuka starts vs Liv Morgan and quickly beat her

Asuka vs Sonya Deville and Asuka wins after Mandy distracts Sonya. Mandy has betrayed Sonya earlier.

Asuka vs Kairi Sane happens and Asuka wins via roll up

Asuka vs Carmella is next and Asuka barely survives

Lastly, Asuka vs Ember Moon and Ember wins with the Eclipse

Bayley lays Moon out after the match

12-10 SD

A contract signing happens between Bayley and Ember. It ends with no altercation.

12-15 TLC

Here, Bayley faces Ember Moon and Sasha vs Ronda 2 happens. Early in the night, Bayley talks to Sasha and says she'll have her back tonight. As Bayley is getting ready for her match, she gets jumped choked out by Shayna Baszler, Shafir and Duke. This weakened states allows for Ember to win the title.

Later, as Sasha vs Ronda is happening. The MMA Horsewomen seem to surround the ring and as the referee is out they attack the boss, who can't do anything. Becky and Charlotte have been banned due to their reckless and unprofessional behavior, attacking cops and slapping Vince and Shane for not allowing them to fight Ronda, their meal ticket. So Bayley comes out with a kendo stick and proceeds to hit anything moving. But Ronda takes her down and looks to go for the armbar, but Sasha hits her in the back with the kendo stick, hits Bankrupt, a frog splash and retains.

That's all for Bayleys title reign, after that:

Asuka wins the women's royal rumble, which also had Becky, Charlotte, Bayley, Baszler, Shafir, Duke and Ronda Rousey. She will go on to face Ember Moon at Wrestlemania for the Smackdown Women's Championship

Sasha defends the Raw Women's Championship at the Elimination Chamber event. The match involves her, Rousey, Baszler, Becky, Naomi and Nikki Cross. Eliminations:

1 Nikki after the disarmher from Becky

2 Naomi after an Armbar from Rousey

3 Becky choked out by Baszler

4 Baszler after a Bank Statement after Becky interfered

5 Sasha after missing a frog splash and getting hit with Pipers Pit

Fastlane has the Horsewomen vs Horsewomen, one fall 8 women tag. Becky Lynch gets a pin off Rousey to win. This will set up Lynch vs Rousey at Wrestlemania for the Raw Women's Championship in a Submission match.

Also at Mania, it's Queen vs Queen as Charlotte takes on Shayna Baszler. And the Boss n Hug Connection are once again on the same page as Sasha and Bayley, who are the tag champs, will take on Shafir and Duke.

Sasha and Bayley beat Shafir and Duke

Baszler defeats Flair

Ronda makes Becky Lynch pass out, a la Bret vs Stone Cold Wrestlemania 13

What do you guys think about this?

Is there anyone you want to write for or anyone you are thinking of adding to your masterlist?

I've been thinking of adding Eddie Guerrero and Chyna, both writing for them solo and together.

Marina Shafir has been on my mind lately as well, which means I would probably do the 4 horsewomen of MMA too (Shayna, Ronda, Marina & Jessamyn).

I've added Finn Balor to my list as of today!

[thewomenofwrestlingconfessions]

“I think Charlotte and Becky will cause DQ on Sashas match against Ronda on Royal Rumble and her (Sasha) and Bayley will help them (Becky and Charlotte) attack Ronda and set up 4 Horsewomen of WWE x 4 Horsewomen of MMA”

[blueonwrestling]

shaykota replied to your post “Excuse me while I cackle while the lesser two of the 4 former MMA...”

Can't say they're not putting the work in or only doing it for an ego trip. Jessamyn and Marina have been a tag team on non TV NXT for a while and lose to most their opponents too.

for once wwe is actually slowburning it, they could just have all 4 of the mma vs wrestling horsewomen right now if they wanted to, but shayna would have to really carry that match.

from what i’ve seen from the flordia house show loops and all that, they’ve constantly been working together and that’s some good shit, and they’ll always have a bit of seriousness behind them no matter how much they lose due to the MMA stuff.

Once ready, Jessamyn, Marina and Shayna as a proper tandem on NXT will be great, and if Ronda does actually decide to come back, say for 2020 survivor series, that Survivor Series match will be GREAT

[rhiannonquinzel]

Imagine Becky Vs Ronnie leads to a 4 Horsewomen Vs Faux Horsewomen feud.

Becky takes the title from Ronnie, Ronnie turns heel. In come the other Faux Horsewomen to try and help Ronnie win the title back.

Becky has had enough. Becky is PISSED.

So one night on Raw the Faux Horsewomen are in the ring, all of a sudden Becky's entrance music hits. She's sauntering out to the entrance ramp. Standing there like The Man.

Becky savagely destroys all 4 in a promo, talking about them not making it in MMA lead them here, they couldn't hack it so they ran. But she dreamed of being here. And how all 4 of them beat her down but she's still champ because they can't best her. They're not as good as they say they are.

Come the next PPV Becky will finish them once and for all..

Becky reminds them Ronnie's not the only one with friends in the locker room.

Sasha, Bayley and Charlotte come out to the 4 Horsemen Entrance Music...
