Shotzi Blackheart made her triumphant return on this week’s episode of WWE NXT. Following a tag team match where Fatal Attraction defeated Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin, the heels launched a post-match attack on their opponents. The chaos was interrupted by Shotzi, who made a dramatic comeback to even the odds.
Shotzi had been absent from television since February after sustaining a torn ACL during her match against NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria. The injury forced her out of action for nine months, including a missed opportunity to compete in a qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber: Perth event. Her spot in the match was subsequently taken by Alba Fyre.
Before her injury, Shotzi had been a prominent figure in WWE programming. In the summer of 2023, she feuded with Damage CTRL, culminating in a WarGames match at Survivor Series in November. Teaming with Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch, Shotzi secured a victory against Damage CTRL (Bayley, Asuka, Iyo Sky, and Kairi Sane).
Shotzi’s return to NXT signals her reentry into WWE storylines, with fans eagerly anticipating her next steps in the ring.
