The real reason for Shotzi’s absence from WWE TV has reportedly been revealed.
Shotzi last wrestled on WWE TV on the February 25 edition of SmackDown, losing to Sasha Banks. The former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion has wrestled several dark matches since, most recently after the March 25 show.
Per Ringside News – which has had several backstage reports confirmed by the likes of Fightful and Dave Meltzer in recent times – ‘nothing is wrong’. WWE reportedly decided not to book her because she wasn’t ‘in the WrestleMania mix’, but Shotzi has been at television every week.
The report noted that there is no heat on the SmackDown star, and ‘everyone likes her’ backstage.
Three women’s title matches took place at WrestleMania 38, with Charlotte Flair defending her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey, and Bianca Belair defeating Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship. Sasha Banks & Naomi won a fourway bout to become the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
In February, before her most recent WWE TV appearance, Shotzi revealed that she was dealing with lower back issues, which you can read more about right here.
