WWE’s Shotzi has been out of action due to injury since February. During a match with Lyra Valkyria in February on NXT, Shotzi tore her ACL after a weird landing outside of the ring.
Since her injury, Shotzi has updated fans on her recovery to include stem cell treatment which she has also accredited to helping prior injuries.
Former WWE Tag Team Champion Mideon spoke on a recent podcast Six Feet Under with The Undertaker, he confirmed he has been working on an “American Psycho” gimmick for Shotzi.
“I was asked by a couple of people to ‘help them out’ on their returns, ideas for stories. So I really kind of got this ‘American Psycho’ thing working for Shotzi, who I love. I see her as a roller derby…did she not fit the roller derby thing? Although I’ve kind of went in an ‘American Psycho’ thing, where she’s kind of been sitting at home, and see the video of her, and there’s two TVs, there’s a TV in front of her, and she’s watching the current women’s stable wrestle, and there’s a TV next to her with the ending of ‘Texas Chainsaw’, where all you hear is chainsaws, so she goes kind of insane a little bit. Then she’s just obsessed with horror movies, which she already is, and then we kind of influence that, and we can even use certain famous tropes or scenes from horror movies as set-ups, like when the Wyatt Sicks dusted through Gorilla and left everybody down. You can do smaller versions of that with her. Tied to a chair made of human bones, have her opponent tied to a chair and have her reciting crazy poetry.”
It has recently been reported that WWE trademarked Shotzi’s former ring name, Shotzi Blackheart.
There is no confirmation on when Shotzi will retun. An ACL injury generally requires nine months to a year to recover.
