Shotzi Blackheart recently appeared on the Swerve City Podcast and commented on 2020 being such a “funky” year but it’s been one of the best years of her life. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On having her most successful year so far: “2020’s so weird, because it’s like — it’s such a funky year. A lot of weird s**t going on. But then it’s also the best year of my life, you know? So it’s like a love-hate relationship. 2020, what are you doing to me? [laughs]”
On her Royal Rumble debut: “I mean, it was just all really sudden. Because I didn’t find out until the night before. Yeah, I’m just chilling at home and they’re like, ‘Hey, we need you to get on a plane.’ And I’m like, ‘Ooo-kaaay?’ … Oh, I was freaking out, definitely. But even when they told me to get on a plane, they didn’t even really say that I was in the Rumble. It wasn’t until we were rehearsing the night before at the baseball field in Houston. And even then, I thought I was just watching them rehearse. And it was a tease, because they went like number by number about what’s going on. And they finally got to 26, which was you know, way down there. And they said that was my number, and I was like, ‘Wait, I’m in it? What’re you talking about?’”
On her emotions when she got into the ring: “I went straight for Toni Storm when I went in there. But oh — Beth Phoenix was in there. And I’m a big old Beth fan, I was like, ‘Oh my goodness.’ Beth was in there, Natalya was in there. And Beth was getting it on me, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is so cool! Yeah! Eliminate me, Beth!’ [laughs] ‘But also, no!’”
