Shotzi Blackheart, Shotzi

[8.0] "I like Shotzi a lot, tbh. She's creative, fun and I feel like you're at least going to get something entertaining every time she wrestles. She's not always great on the mic and her ring work is a little gritty but that doesn't bother me at all. She's fantastic when it comes to having a solid hardcore match too."

[9.0] "I've always had a massive soft spot for Shotzi because she's one of the few wrestlers who feels completely real to me. That wild punk energy isn't some gimmick handed down by creative--it's just who she is. Beyond the fearless, reckless bumps and the loud attitude, she has this deeply sweet, infectious heart underneath it all that makes it impossible for me not to root for her. She just radiates authenticity and charisma."

"such a charismatic wrestler and so exciting to watch! she is a joy in the ring and watching her in person was electric. it's hard to put her in the box as i often wonder should we be rooting for someone? should we be booing then? and i found myself not caring because i just wanted to watch her doing whatever she was doing."

[7.0] "I am starting to love Shotzi! Her character work is just her being authentic. Her wrestling skills are around average for her experience level. She can do a lot of moves and can do some nice looking strikes but she is not particularly exceptional in any one area. She's willing to take risks and she's great at injecting personality into matches."

[9.0] "One of the most naturally charismatic wrestlers out there, and she is completely authentic. Her high-risk style makes every match feel exciting, and she clearly loves the business more than almost anyone. Since leaving WWE in 2025, she's been on an absolute tear -- tearing up the indie scene, picking up gold in MLW, and taking on deathmatch territory in GCW that most women's wrestlers wouldn't go near. She's fearless, and it shows, and it's a lot of fun.le"

[3.0] "She's sunk low lately. She had some promise to her back in 2019 but, for each passing year she's getting worse and worse. She's in Eva Marie territory and that's not a joke. Her mic skills are horrendous, and she's never had a match beyond decent worth nothing about. She's getting increasingly worse and she needs to improve at every single perimeter at wrestling to say otherwise."

[2.0] "I just don't think Shotzi is very good, to be honest. People rave about her charisma, but for me it feels very inauthentic and forced. Her ability in-ring has never improved despite being in the business for 12 years. Her character work is good, I will say that. She knows how to stand out from the rest and it definitely helped people recognise her as a wrestler. But aside from that, there is just zero substance there for me to really care or think highly of her as a performer."

[8.0] "Best bad girl going. Maybe ever. She's always been electric. Perfect Tank Girl Acid Rock Punk. But her abilities in the ring have gown by leaps and bounds. I've been looking for the perfect bad girl my whole life. Giulia. But if she had gone underground. Harder. Masha Slamovich. Naddie gets it. Meghan Bayne. Mercedez Mone. When she first came to GCW, two girls arrived together up first. Cora Jade/Elayna Black and Shotzi. An embarrassment of riches. I was anti-Fed at this point so it matched my narrative they're too soft (PG-13 Bubblegum) for hard women. But I banked on Cora Jade. So sassy. Roxanne Perez. A little Chelsea Green. Next level Skye Blue. Sp when she miss bookings, where GCW had her against legends. and she was in the Middle of the promo poster that never happened? It still burns. Thankfully I had the silver (redheaded? ) lining of Priscilla Kelly step right into her shows and turn disappointment into delight. All the while, Shotzi like base beat running out shows. Man, women's wrestling is ground zero and Shotzi might be nuclear. But it's the growth of her her ability in ring that's got me. I had her penciled as a 10 Charisma, 6 in the ring. About Soraya or Ruby Soho. But she's finally fully back from her injuries and her abilities are next level. Saw her run a match against Spyder Nate Webb and she's moved far beyond a simple gimmick wrestler. No Danhausen all makeup no show. She's twice the wrestler she was when she crashed in the Indies. Legendary. Rina Yamashita and Jun Kasai's gaijin love child with the mentality of Jon Moxely and the hot looks of Alexa Bliss, Rhea RIpley or Maki Itoh. Risa Sera. Rina Yamashta. I have a long list or hot, crazy and lethal in the ring. If Shotzi's not my current queen, she's holding the Throne for Saya Kamatani. Giulia or Masha Slamovich."

[4.0] "She is so charismatic wrestler here but she is still terrible at ring skills and talents she didnt even make it because she is terrible in ring her matches never impressed me and i find her character boring"

[4.0] "Yeah she has a sick presentation and look but that's about all. Her promo work is nails on a chalkboard and her in ring work is just not good. I was a bit of a fan in NXT but that's far from the case now."

[3.0] "She has a cool look and entrance... That's all I can give her, aside from that, I just don't get it. She's sloppy in the ring, but not sloppy in a Lita or Manami Toyota way where she's still capable of wrestling and the sloppiness makes their abilities have a dangerous undercurrent to them that makes it sort of train wreck quality in a good way, she's just sloppy in a botchy way where she seems like she just learned how to wrestle. I'm sure she's a nice person in real life, but I just can't get behind her as a wrestler, don't even get me started on her promos."

[8.0] "She's actually excellent and fun to watch ngl. Like, both of her matches in Wargames were bomb and I think she was made for Wargames. I was half disappointed that WWE released her, but for the other half, I knew she would perform well in indies, knowing that she was really good in indies. And her match with Megan and Matt proved it. I think GCW is also made for her since they do intergender matches and interesting matches. I hope she's having fun there in MLW too.Good luck to her"

[1.0] "Absolutely dreadful wrestler, she wrestles like she's untrained. I have no idea how a wrestler that botches literally every single match was employed by WWE for so long, and it's not like her matches are any higher quality when she's not having embarrassing botches. Has never had a good match, ever."

[6.0] "Shotzi is one of the most charismatic and fearless performers in WWE's women's division. Her look and energy are undeniably unique, and she brings a punk-rock, high-risk style that stands out. Moves like the Inverted Cannonball and Diving Senton show her commitment to an all-or-nothing in-ring approach. However, her matches can be inconsistent--sometimes thrilling, sometimes sloppy. She's improved over time but still has room to tighten her execution and timing. Her crowd connection is strong, especially in NXT, but hasn't translated fully on the main roster yet. Overall, Shotzi has a lot of potential and offers something different, but she needs a more consistent run and refined in-ring work to climb the ranks."

[8.0] "An incredible wrestler, always interesting to watch, very versatile, i like how she doesn't just rely on taking high risks but can also hang in the ring with the best of the absolute best in regular matches, she's really charismatic, has a magnetic character, i do think that her heel turn back in 2021 was a massive setback for her career since people didn't find her as interesting as she was before, even after she turned face again and the injury last year was the nail in the coffin, the move back to NXT was her chance to prove that she can still be a top star in WWE but unfortunately from reasons that definitely weren't in her control, it just didn't work out for her there, i can't wait to see her thrive in the indies again, she's got it"

[8.0] "Shotzi has an incredible personality, she had great feuds and a different character, she did very well in NXT, what hindered her were the injuries she had frequently which caused her inactivity for long months, but now that she is back to being more active she has been improving more, I see great potential for her to be a mid title champion"

[2.0] "Her 2022 era still gets me, she's not a good wrestler, but she's not bad either, but her mic skills are horrible, now that she's recently returned she seems to be improvising more in the ring, if not the rate would be lower, but talking more about her 2022 era, my god, what a bad thing, she was definitely not good at anything, wrestling, speaking, acting, NOTHING, and and still had several botches in her matches, her gimmick in 2022 and 2023 was cringe and bad, i rather her gimmick of today than of this time, this ''crazy psycho'' thing was good in her NXT era, but when she go to the main roster in 2021, everyone hated it, i'm relieved she didn't come back with that gimmick, i know that she stays with the same ''crazy'' thing, but thank god not the same as the 2022's"

[7.0] "She has character and a great team. There were times when she was slow and not very attractive to watch, but this year she has improved a lot. Returning to NXT has helped her polish certain things about herself"

[4.0] "A pretty forgettable worker. Her mic skills are subpar, bordering on straight up bad, mediocre in-ring skills in which only her willingness to perform dangerous maneuvers is a highlight. Somehow she managed to go from average with potential, to bad without a bright future."

[3.0] "Very bad man on the mic cringe inducing at times and in ring she's actively bad timing and moves wise unless she's taking big bumps or doing some crazy stipulation. 3 cause she's a likeable character at times and is willing to take the big bumps so at least she cares"

[4.0] "Very fine wrestler when it comes to some more dangerous stipulations who can perform very fun spots. Does have quite average babyface personality but in the ring she does really bad work most of the times, botches a lot and also is quite injury prone."

[4.0] ""Shotzi's been a total letdown lately. Her character's cringeworthy, promos are weak, selling's off, and she's botching left and right. Had some potential in the indies and NXT, but now? Not cutting it on the main roster. Seeing her on TV just irks me.""

[4.0] "I didn't particularly like Shotzi in NXT, I found her too rough. Her arrival in the Main Roster did not help, the difference in level between her and the big names in the division was obvious. She botches too often, her in-ring intelligence is non-existent, she has trouble telling stories and her promos lack power."

[4.0] "She is not good wrestler. She cant wrestle well and her gimmik is trash. She always gets injured or making other wrestlers injury. I think she was average when she was in NXT but at the main roster, shes performances are really not good. Her moves look like very dangerous to both her and opponents. However, I think she looks cool."

[4.0] "I used to see something in Shotzi during her NXT days, but in the last couple years shes seemingly declined rapidly. Tons of botches, slow movement and less than stellar promos have turned her into someone I have no desire to see on tv. She has a cool look, but thats about it"

[7.0] "She's willing to do some crazy bumps which pays off in WWE occasionally when they have those gimmick matches. She's not the best in the ring but she makes up for it with her charisma."

[4.0] "Mildly entertaining with a great look and subpar in ring skills. I had higher hopes when she first came to NXT and they've since leveled off heavily. For having a high pace offense often she moves like molasses and has a natural slowness which really takes you out of it. She hits the ropes better than most women which is a plus. Her strikes look as bad as most women's in modern wrestling. If she were able to move fluidly and piece together her matches better she could be main event level with the grade A look but until then it's average stuff."

[4.0] "A bit bland, but does have potential. Doesn't do anything really wrong, but doesn't really captivate either. Her in-ring work isn't that exciting either, but to be fair it's not like she has had too many matches where things could get going hot either. A bit more charisma and she would be quite decent actually"

[2.0] "Cant work, not good on the mic, her gimik is cring. I wish i whould have somthing nice to say about shotzi cos see semes allright but she just sucks. Never seen her have a good match where she played a signifecnt role. She feels like one of the manny pepole that got big in nxt when evrything is much more low stakes and scripted but when the traning wheels went of she crashed"

[4.0] "Yeah she's really not my type of wrestler. Whether it was back in NXT with her tank or now in the main shows, she's just not a wrestler whom I want to see more of. She's certainly not awful but she's still hurting the product in my eyes. However, in NXT she was fairly over with the crowd so maybe she can pull that off again and gain popularity. Still nothing for me though"

[5.0] "Only this high based on her earlier work, Shotzi has been the absolute drizzling shits for the past few years, with cringe character work, poor promos, awful selling and botches galore. On the indies and in NXT, she seemed to have a good amount of potential. Whether she got complacent or the main roster work style is just very unsuited to her, I'm not 100% sure. What I am sure of is that I don't like seeing her on TV."

[3.0] "I saw the potential when she was in NXT, and she was one of my favorites in NXT, but her main roster run really exposed her as a mid wrestler when she doesnt have the help of using crazy moves and dives. Plus she is very self centered and thinks shes way better than she is."

[3.0] "Shotzi came to the main roster with hype, but a string of poor performances caused the hype to disappear. In NXT she had stronger workers to go against/tag with which made her look better than she really is. She has a look that is unique but that is it."

[5.0] "Liked Shotzi on the indies but she just did not translate well to WWE. She has a great look and good mic skills but in the ring it seems she had regressed somewhat from before WWE in terms of being in the ring. She does not sell as well and has a tendency to botch moves in the WWE style. Still on the indies she seemed like the complete package and a star."

"Shotzi was a great talker in NXT, She was a great face and I always loved her badass theme. But her selling are BAD she can't even sell a DDT and already botch it, I'm hate her character, because every damn month WWE need give's her a partner, cause she are completely boring, for me she should get released."

[5.0] "I don't get what happened to Shotzi. She was so good on the indies and in NXT, but somehow, all of that completely vanished on the main roster. Her promo skills were never solid, but now, what foundation she had attempted to build in NXT has fallen. She's lucky to be considered Raquel's backup for Liv Morgan."

[4.0] "She has a really strong look but in terms of qualities you look for in a pro wrestler that is where her strengths begin and end."

[5.0] "Shotzi is average at best. I have followed the NxT women's division for a long time. She didn't make a big splash there and she hasn't made an impact on the main roster. If she improves, will change rating but as it stands, can't give more than a 5. Her perfomances are unispired and her gimmick, just decent."

[4.0] "I don't remember any good match from her. The only cool thing about her is tank. And green color hair. That's all"

[3.0] "Annoying try hard character, subpar promo work and subpar in the ring. Another cog in the disaster that is the smackdown women's division. Her match with Ronda is genuinely one of the worst title matches I've ever seen a major company put on"

[9.0] "Great character that will get over with kids and teens and adults. The tank girl image is brilliant and will be popular over time. Like top of the card popular. Good wrestler too. Deserves better than the bad matchups shes been getting."

[6.0] "A lot of fun to watch, she has a cute aesthetic and her promo ability is rather unique. I think she can only grow as a performer."

[3.0] "Shotzi Blackheart isn't a very good wrestler overall. Her best work was in NXT, when she wasn't really wrestling much, and was more of an on-camera personality. She's a pretty rough wrestler, who can be unwatchable at times. She has had good matches, but they're few and far between. Her biggest benefit is having a unique presence, but she really is uncaptivating at this point."

[3.0] "A typical female inde style wrestler, her inde days weren't really that creative in terms of in ring work and she was really unsafe to work but her WWE journey was completely forgotten and I don't think there's any chance for her to shine again."

[3.0] "Chapter is over but the in ring abilities needs to be polished. Can come off clumsy and sloppy at times. During her evolve days I expected her to be a bit more polished. Haven? t seen her much in wwe"

[6.0] "Haven't seen too much of Shotzi Blackheart, but I do enjoy her work. She totally rules as a face. Love the punk rocker vibe she gives off, the tank made her stand out amongst the rest of the women's division, and she was thoroughly entertaining. Then, they turned her heel. I'm still trying to understand why that is because I find it hard to despise her in any way. Since that heel turn, she hasn't done much of anything on SmackDown, but was surprisingly in the last two at Survivor Series. As a competitor, she is competent. I think there is still room for improvement, but she puts on entertaining matches, and that is okay. I wish they'd give her the tank back and let her be a babyface again (since SmackDown seems to have very limited women faces), but she is a good addition to the roster anyways."

[7.0] "Shotzi's exciting in the ring, and enjoyable outside with her over-the-top antics. I definitely preferred her as a face in NXT with the tank and the howling."

[8.0] "I like Shotzi she has a good look and is very charismatic. She also has a unique moveset. She's a natural babyface but they forced her heel for whatever reason."

[6.0] "Can be reckless at times, but an enjoyable wrestler with a good character. Not the best promo, though."

[4.0] "Very reckless in the ring but her gimmick does a lot of heavy lifting to make up for that and her other shortcomings."
