Shotzi Blackheart signs with WWE

Shotzi Blackheart has signed with WWE, confirming with an angle that took place at EVOLVE 137 on Friday.

NXT General Manager William Regal came out and congratulated Blackheart following a victory over Aja Perera, retaining the Shine Nova championship in the process. Regal did a promo where he offered her a contract. Blackheart shook Regal’s hand, accepting the deal.

Her final indie date is with SHIMMER on November 3.

Cameron Grimes will face Eddie Kingston, Curt Stallion will face Kassius Ohno, Babatunde will face Sean Maluta and Anthony “Sharkbait” Gutierrez will face Arturo Ruas.
