Shotzi on her WWE exit: “I always thought that Triple H really believed in me so it was a little disappointing”
While appearing on Saraya’s podcast, former WWE star Shotzi talked about her departure from the company. Here was the exchange between Saraya and Shotzi in regards to Shotzi leaving WWE…
Saraya: “I was shocked about it. There’s a couple of people I’ve been shocked about, but you were definitely one of them. What was the conversation there? Did you know what was coming?”
Shotzi: “Yes and no. I had just came back from an ACL tear. So coming back from a huge injury and not being on TV for like almost a year, I was kind of not surprised. I’m like, ‘Well, we lasted a year without you, so we’ll just let you go now that your contract’s up.’ So, in that aspect, I wasn’t really surprised. But I don’t know. I always thought like Hunter [Triple H] really believed in me, so it was just a little disappointing. I just felt like, ‘dang, they gave up on me.’ It’s just like I was in such a bad space for a few years, you know, just with everything that I was going through. I was coming back from injury so much stronger, and not just physically but mentally too. I was just ready to kill it coming back, and I didn’t even get the opportunity to. So I just felt like they left a lot of meat on the bone. I was coming back on fire and ready to give them me—the real me. And I didn’t even get the chance to show it.”
Saraya: “If they called you tomorrow, would you go back?”
Shotzi: “Not right now. Just because I am having so much fun on the indies, and I think I just need more time to do me and have fun before I go in there. Because I want to make so much noise here doing me to where, I would go back there and be undeniable. Like, they couldn’t throw me into catering. They’d have to use me, you know? I want them to be forced to utilize me.”
