Shotzi Blackheart isnt in WWE anymore but she made a lot of memories during her time in the company. This included the time she debuted a more psychotic character but that was abruptly dropped and now Blackheart has explained why WWE dropped the character in the first place.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Shotzi Blackheart explained why WWE dropped her psychotic character. She said she wanted to do something completely different. After Bayley shaved her head, she thought it was the right time to become a crazier version of herself. However, WWE didnt like the idea and told her to just be herself instead.
Before that, she had been doing segments with Bayley where she laughed manically and chased her around with clippers. She believed they were building toward a crazier version of her character. Thats why she cut a promo before WarGames 2023, acting that way but the character change stopped there. WWE decided they didnt want her to go in that direction after all.
Blackheart said WWE even had her in a dark room with smoke, laughing and saying Bayleys name over and over again. So she really thought that was the direction they wanted.
Blackheart still believes the character could have worked if they let her go all in with it. She thinks fans were just surprised because it changed so fast. Even though some people didnt like it, she loved the idea and feels it would have worked better with more time.
Blackheart is already thriving in the independent scene after her WWE departure, but its not known if she will decide to bring back her psychotic character in the future. Regardless, fans are looking forward to seeing how 2025 will turn out for Shotzi Blackheart, as the world is truly her oyster.
