Recently Released WWE Star Teased For MLW Appearance

Could Shotzi be heading to MLW?
A brand new video aired by the company would suggest that the answer to that question is a resounding "yes." The video featured a tank, which is a signature gimmick for Shotzi in WWE and elsewhere.
It also used the phrases "Hearts turn black," a play on her Blackheart last name, and the "the warning Shotz will be fired." The video was used to promote the MLW Summer of the Beasts events on June 26 in New York City.

Shotzi is a former WWE Women's NXT Tag Team Champion with Ember Moon. She was also utilized as a special host for specialty NXT events like Halloween Havoc.
Her departure from the company aligned with other talent releases like Cora Jade, Braun Strowman, Dakota Kai, and others. However, those talents were cut from the roster and Shotzi's contract was simply not going to get re-upped after it expired.
