Shotzi Feeling 'So Free' Ahead Of WWE Exit

Shotzi is set to depart WWE when her contract expires, and the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion has revealed how she feels ‘so free’ ahead of her exit.

During the recent round of WWE talent releases it was revealed that Shotzi will be free to wrestle elsewhere in July 2025, with WWE not choosing to renew her contract. Talking with Busted Open Radio, Shotzi spoke of her impending exit, stating the following:

“Honestly, I didn’t expect this but I just feel so free. And I just feel like this weight is lifted off me,” Shotzi said. “I just feel like clarity and I just feel extremely motivated and excited for the future. And I’m just ready to get to work. Because I have just been sitting at home it feels like for the last two years. And I’m just excited to get back at it.”

Shotzi’s last televised main roster appearance came at the 2024 Royal Rumble, with Shotzi missing most of 2024 due to an ACL injury, before being sent back to NXT.



“When they’re utilising you, it’s the best job in the world,” Shotzi continued. “It’s so much fun and it really is the best. But like when you’re in the dark and you’re pitching things and it just feels like no one wants to talk to you and it just feels like no one believes in you and you’re just sitting at home or you’re sitting in catering for months, it’s mind-numbing. And it’s confusing. And it’s boring as hell. So I’m just excited to finally get to go out there and just kick ass on my terms — and I get to make my schedule. Like, I’m not going to put myself in catering. I’m going to get out there and I’m going to wrestle my butt off.”
