Report: Shotzi Blackheart signs with WWE

[Steveweiser]

Shotzi is publicly denying this report on Twitter, but Casey Michael says that her name is on the NXT New Talent list, and he's had this in the works for months - she was meant to be in Santana Garrett's class, but there was a delay.

As reported on our Patreon we can exclusively confirm that WWE has signed independent wrestler Shotzi Blackheart to a developmental contract with the company.

The independent wrestler who is from California who’s real name is Ashley Urbanski had previously appeared during the promotion’s revival of the Tough Enough reality competition series – where she just missed out on the final selection due to a medical condition.

Since that time the 26-year-old has had an official WWE tryout at the performance center in Orlando, Florida back in 2016 and has gone on to wrestle at some of the top companies on the indies such as BEYOND, SHIMMER, RISE, Sabotage Wrestling, SHINE, and EVOLVE to name a few.

She currently holds the Sabotage War Of The Genders Championship and the SHINE Nova championship.

Odd of her to deny it if it's legitimate, isn't it?

[eJm]

She has quite a unique look compared to the other women on the roster so makes sense for them to pick her up.

Eh, Alpha Female denied signing for a good while before she popped up at the first UK Takeover so it’s just something people do, I guess.

Now Ciampa's got someone to do mixed tags against Johnny and Candice.

[Perd]

In NXT speak, her name roughly translates to Betsy Kilimanjaro.

Good signing, but I hope AEW's doing some scouting for more women as well because outside of the joshis, their division's lacking at the moment.

Again rule number 1 of confirming rumors about talents signing to companies are true....The wrestler going out of their way to address the rumor.

She was supposed on the same tough enough with Mandy and Sonya or it might have been the season prior but they got scared off by her results something to do with her heart.

Gonna be real interesting to see what they do with her because her personality is so not fitting to WWE at all it is gonna be quite the change or one short lived stint.

f*** yeah

She better be allowed to bring her tank

As usual, she'd be able to survive in NXT, but she'd die a sad death on RAW or SD.

Oh, I am sure they are.

Nyla's good, but given the tag match, I'm suddenly seeing why Nyla as first champ would have been a problem. Riho could probably work around some of the limited women more easily.

[Cyno]

This is some good shit.

[lucas_lee]

Honestly I think they deny because their medical and backgrounds havent been completed yet.

If they didn’t sign her after that insane dive bump she took at the Evolve Network show, I’d have been really disappointed in them.

I could see WWE telling people not to mention they sign until they release a statement or press release.

[IgnahtaSempria]

If this is true, I hope this doesn't affect Bizarro Lucha. It's one of my favourite indy companies right now, and I believe she's one of the co-promoters along with Tripp Cassidy.

[Lt. Palumbo]

Shotzi was legitimately my favourite match Summerslam weekend. Hard hitting baddass.

I've gotta feel her whole "balls" schtick gets somewhat...neutered

[BatPunk]

Super happy with this signing. Shotzi’s game has grown big time in the past year or two. She’s going to be super fun in NXT.
