Following her recent departure from WWE, Shotzi has revealed details about creative plans that never came to fruition during her final months with the company. In early May 2025, WWE did not renew Shotzi's contract.
Speaking on SiriusXM's Busted Open Radio, Shotzi discussed a proposed storyline involving Chelsea Green on SmackDown. She explained that she was initially informed about the potential program and was looking forward to working with Green.
"I was told 'you're going to start a storyline with Chelsea (Green)'. Which I was all for, Chelsea is super great," Shotzi stated.
However, despite early preparations, the plans were repeatedly dropped. "They bring me into SmackDown, they're rehearsing my entrance on the tron, and then they cut it," she recalled. "And then it was week after week, nothing and nothing."
This lack of creative direction occurred as her WWE contract expiration date approached, leaving her questioning her status. "Then I started to wonder 'my contract's up in a few months, what is going on?' and nobody had answers for me," Shotzi said. She explained this uncertainty directly motivated her recent viral promo.
"That's finally when I was 'I'm gonna cut this promo, and I'm gonna get some answers by cutting this promo.'" Shotzi is currently waiting for her deal to be up. Once that time comes in July, she will not have a traditional non-compete to wait out like released talent usually have to do whether that be for 30 or 90 days. Instead, she will be free and clear to sign with any promotion she wants.
