UPDATED: Shotzi Set To Leave WWE, Contract Won’t Be Renewed

UPDATE: Both PWInsider and Fightful have confirmed that Shotzi is on her way out of WWE, with Fightful noting that WWE is not renewing her contract.

Shotzi reportedly saw the move coming, which is why she cut the promo she did earlier in the week.

Fightful Select adds that when asked earlier in the week, WWE sources said that Shotzi “hasn’t been released” but her contract was up soon and she was told that WWE will not be renewing it. Earlier in the week, WWE sources told Fightful that no talent was released at that point, but that was Thursday and releases have been happening since yesterday.

As for Shotzi, it’s currently unknown when her contract is up.

Original: As first noted by Fightful, the WWE.com profile for Shotzi has moved to the alumni section. It’s not yet been confirmed if Shotzi was part of this week’s WWE talent releases. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that as of Friday (May 2), people internally within WWE hadn’t yet heard of her exit.

Currently, Shotzi’s profile still lists her as being part of NXT. As previously reported, Shotzi released a promo on her social media this week, where she spoke about losing her confidence and her “Ballsy Badass” nature.

She also wrote in the caption, “Whatever happens next I’m ready for it. Stay ballsy my friends. 💚” It’s unknown if those comments were hinting at a possible WWE release.

Shotzi originally signed with WWE in late 2019 after appearing on Season VI of Tough Enough in 2015. During her WWE career, she became an NXT Tag Team Champion with Ember Moon. She had recently returned to NXT last year, working with Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin. Dolin was among this week’s releases.

Shotzi has been moved to the alumni section of WWE's website. Her profile still lists "NXT."
