Shotzi brought her “devil may care” style to Major League Wrestling (MLW) last June, just a month after she left WWE when her contract with the company expired.
She made her debut at Summer of the Beasts and about nine months later officially signed with the company. Shotzi’s extreme, full-throttle nature added some extra energy to the MLW women’s division.

She opened up about her decision to sign with MLW, hinting that it was the right time and place for her.
“When my contract ended with WWE, I really wasn’t in a rush to sign anywhere,” she explained to Pakinomist Digital. “It kind of reminds me of when you’re kind of tired of dating and you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m not looking for a relationship,’ and that’s when you find the love of your life… I started wrestling for MLW, they were one of the first companies to hit me when my contract ended.
“They immediately brought me in and they immediately understood my character and I just had so much fun that when they asked me to sign, I was just like, ‘You know what? Yeah, let’s make this official.'”
Shotzi said she had some of the most fun she’s had in her professional wrestling career.

“I’m having fun. Like the creative freedom that I have, the freedom of wrestling to just be everywhere,” she said. “I feel like I’m finally getting my wrestling fix. I’m traveling the world and having some of the most amazing matches – matches that I’m so really proud of. I really just love the roster that I’m creating. I’m just so proud of it.”
Shotzi will be in action when “MLW Fusion” makes its debut on Veeps Saturday night and relishes the opportunity to welcome more fans to the promotion.
“I love that MLW is so easily accessible now,” she said. “You can catch us everywhere – YouTube, beIN Sports, Veeps. I love that we have so many partners and you can see us everywhere. Getting exposure for MLW everywhere is just so cool to see.”
Shotzi added that MLW wasn’t afraid to “push the envelope” with its wrestling and storytelling, which makes it stand out from the crowd in the industry.

“The thing about MLW — I feel like in some places it’s lacking is the storytelling,” she told Pakinomist Digital. “MLW has great stories. They’re not afraid to push the envelope with things and it just feels like pro wrestling. Real pro wrestling, entertainment.
