WWE star Shotzi recently provided a strong promotion that outlined her career struggles.
Visiting her social media accounts, she posted a video clip cutting her set-off and promotions about how she transformed. She emphasized that she lost so much in her life. She said:
“Have you ever wondered if you were real anymore? I called myself a badass of the ball because I was wild, reckless and confused. I lived for danger. I was loved every second. That confidence and fearlessness…it made me intoxicate.
However, in an instant, I felt like I had lost that feeling. I lost. I have lost people that mean everything to me. And I make me consume that sadness. I get hurt and make me feel worthless. And somewhere along the way, I lost myself. I wish I could stand here and walk through the fire and tell you that I rose from the ashes like a damn phoenix. But what do you know? That’s not my story. I struggled – lot. I fought through the darkness of many years. ”
Shotzi reveals that self-doubt has lost her fearless identity, which she once embraced as “Ballsy Badass.” However, Shotzi managed to overcome the obstacles and never gave up.
Unlike the typical red stories that are often narrated in wrestling, Shotzi had no arc of victory. But she has endured through years of struggle and criticism. She’s not just coming back, she’s evolved and stronger than ever.
“But here I am going to give myself some credit: through all that, all the dark thoughts, all the injuries, all the crippling criticism – I will never stop. It will disappear, she will never come back.
Because I have redefine what it means to be a ballsy balsy badass. It’s not just about playing a reckless or brutal match. It’s about having the courage to face your demons. Even if you feel that nothing remains, it’s about standing tall. That’s refusing to break even when the world tells you that you should. That requires a bigger ball than I’ve ever done in the ring. Am I still wild? Yeah. A bit indifferent? of course. But now? Now I can’t stop either. Ballsy Badass isn’t just back. She has evolved. And this time – nothing, I mean nothing – can shake me. ”
Shotzi recently returned to WWE TV NXT Stand & Delivery View. She was on the shelves for several months after suffering an ACL injury. She is a faction known as Chemistry X, and is associated with Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin. The former half of the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion has not competed in the ring yet. Her final match aired took place in January when she fought Fallon Henry.
