A former WWE star has made a surprising comeback to the promotion where she first started her career. Last night, at Hoodslam’s “Fearless” event in Oakland, California, the ex-WWE NXT women’s tag team champion, Shotzi, appeared unexpectedly. She returned to the same promotion she began with back in 2014, stepping into the Hoodslam ring for the first time since 2019. Shotzi shared on Twitter how emotional and meaningful the moment was, highlighting a match involving one of her original trainers.
Shotzi officially left WWE six years ago and although the exact end date of her WWE contract remains unclear, it seems she is ready to compete elsewhere. She is scheduled to participate in GCW’s three-event tour in Japan in late July and will also be featured at MLW’s Summer Beast Event on June 26th.
Fan Take: This development is significant for WWE fans as it signals Shotzi’s evolving career path beyond WWE, bringing fresh excitement to the independent wrestling scene. Her return to her roots and upcoming appearances show her dedication to growth, which could inspire new talent and invigorate interest in wrestling promotions outside WWE.
