During a recent appearance on the Out of Character with Ryan Satin podcast, Shotzi commented on her move from the NXT brand to the WWE main roster, along with the creative deciding to drop the tank from her entrance.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Shotzi on her transition from NXT to the WWE main roster: “It definitely is [a lot to take in] and I think that’s what’s different about the main roster on SmackDown and Raw. It is fast-moving. You never know what’s gonna happen, you’re always on your toes. So, you just gotta be ready for anything and everything.”
On working in a tag team with Ember Moon and Tegan Nox: “I always felt more comfortable as a singles competitor. I always thought of myself as a lone wolf. But I had a lot of fun with Ember. We gelled really well. It was a good time. I never thought I would like to have someone there that I can rely on and work off of. I had a training buddy, so that was nice, especially coming up to the main roster and having Tegan [Nox] with me coming into a new locker room. It was good to have that person I could travel with and experience this new locker room with somebody.
On the decision to no longer use a tank and playing a heel character: “That wasn’t my decision, but you know what, I’m embracing the change because I’ve been ‘the ballsy badass’ my entire career. Even on the indies, I was always booked as a babyface. So, it’s nice seven years later to finally change up my character and find something new within me. I think I’m finally grabbing the horns and rolling with it, and I feel like it’s finally clicking…..I’m definitely a little bit of [bitch] and very manipulative. I’m kind of channeling a lot of people that I’ve interacted with that I did not like and just kind of picking from them.”
