SmackDown Superstar Shotzi says that she was a huge fan of The Wyatt Family.
The faction started in 2012 and would move to the main roster in 2013. In a recent interview with The Rip Tour Podcast, Shotzi explains how The Wyatt family got her back into wrestling. And so much that her and her sister wanted to be the female version.
“I watched a little bit with my brother growing up, but I was never a huge fan. I just never thought that someone as small as me could be a wrestler. I always thought you had to have the biggest muscles ever to be a wrestler. I was doing musical theater, I moved back home from going to musical theater college and dropped that dream. I started watching WWE again, and it was the Wyatt family that I was watching that got me into wrestling again. I thought they were so cool. Me and my sister wanted to be the female version of them. The rest is history. We talked about that, and I immediately went online, ‘How do you get into wrestling?’ I looked up schools near me and started training a few months later. I thank the Wyatt family for that,” she said.
“I was a theater kid. I was watching wrestling and was like, ‘this is aggressive theater.’ This is what I need to do.” (Fightful)
Currently, Shotzi and Scarlett have teamed up for the spooky season as the host of Chamber of Horrors on YouTube. You can view the first episode below that featured Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio.
