Report: Shotzi informed her WWE contract will not be renewed

WWE appears set to part ways with another talent.
Shotzi was informed by the company that her contract will not be renewed when it expires in the near future, Fightful reports. Her profile has been moved to the alumni section of WWE.com.
The 33-year-old has been with the company since 2019. Her last match was a taping for WWE Speed on February 14, where she lost to Zoey Stark.
Shotzi seemingly confirmed the news today on social media, writing, “I am more than grateful for the wild ride! Can’t wait to see where this crazy journey takes me next! I hope to make all my believers proud.”

She also posted a video to social media on Thursday that led many to believe she would be part of this round of roster cuts.
“Have you ever lost so much that you start to wonder if you’re even real anymore?” Shotzi asks in the video. “I call myself the ballsy badass because I was wild, reckless, chaotic. Live for the danger, loved every second of it. That confidence and fearlessness — it was intoxicating. It’s why I loved being in the ring so much. But it felt like in the blink of an eye, that feeling was gone. I lost people who meant everything to me, and I let that grief consume me. I let injuries make me feel worthless, and somewhere along the way I lost myself.”
She continued by saying that she has redefined what it means to be a “ballsy badass.”
“It’s not just about being reckless or having brutal matches, it’s about having the guts to face your demons. It’s about standing tall, even when you feel like you’ve got nothing left. It’s about refusing to break, even when the world is telling you that you should. That takes bigger balls than anything I’ve ever done in the ring. Am I still wild? Yeah. A little unhinged? Sure. But now, now I’m also unstoppable. The ballsy badass isn’t just back, she has evolved. And this time, nothing — and I mean nothing — can shake me.”
Whatever happens next I’m ready for it. Stay ballsy my friends. 💚 pic.twitter.com/PcpjZ0Vcun

In 2015, she was selected to be a contestant on the sixth season of Tough Enough but was medically disqualified after a previously undiagnosed irregular heartbeat was discovered. Before signing with WWE in 2019, she also made a few appearances for TNA Impact in 2018 and 2019.
