Shotzi says WWE initially didn’t want to sign her because of photos the company discovered
During an interview with Dari & Toni Unwrapped, former WWE star Shotzi reflected on the process of signing with WWE in 2019…
“So my time was like weird because I got there. So I had like a weird thing where I got signed in 2018 and then they were like, nevermind. And then like AEW started blowing up and then they were like, and then they hit me up in 2019 and were like, nevermind. We are like actually going to sign you. Can you start in like two weeks?”
“I was over the idea of WWE at that point. I was just, okay, well, like I’m coming to terms that WWE is never going to sign me. I was not signed because of like background check stuff. They were like, I had risky photos up that, which I don’t even think are that risky now, but, they were like, ‘Oh yeah, no, that’s not what we want out of our WWE Superstars.’ So I was like, I was under, I just thought that, okay, then that’s it for me. if that’s what they don’t want, they’re never going to change their mind about that. Um, but then like not even a year later, they hit me up.” (quotes courtesy of ITRWrestling.com)
