Former WWE Superstar Shotzi appeared on the latest installment of Chris Van Vliet's "INSIGHT" podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
While on the popular podcast program, the women's wrestling star spoke about her time in WWE coming to an end, if she was expecting the call, what's next for her and more.
The following are some of the highlights where she speaks on these subjects.
On her time in WWE coming to an end: "My situation is different than others, because I had my injury for like nine months that I was gone from that. Then I was at NXT for a small stint, and then I wasn't on TV for a little bit. So I was ready for it. I feel like I had already done the grieving process, and I was already out of the locker room for a little bit. So it didn't come as a shock to me. I was just like, Okay, now I get to work."
On expecting the call: "I don't know. Honestly, I felt like I had a good run at NXT, and I was hopeful that there would be something for me at SmackDown. I kept getting little glimpses of 'Okay, we're gonna run with this storyline,' or this or this. It wasn't until around Mania that I started to think maybe they're not gonna re-sign me, because it was just like storylines getting cut week after week. Then I was just like, Okay, I see where this might be going."
On a storyline that was cut: "I mean, they had teased that I would start something with Chelsea, but it just never happened. They called me into SmackDown a few times, and then every time I would come in, it was cut."
On what’s next: "I just want to wrestle again, because I was gone so long for my ACL injury, and then I was off TV for a little bit. So I'm just so excited to get back into it. I miss it so much. I might have already made my debut by the time this airs."
