Shotzi Blackheart may have parted ways with WWE, but she’s wasting no time getting back to work.
On May 8, 2025, Natalya posted footage to her Instagram stories showing Shotzi training in her famed dungeon. The timing is noteworthy, given that Shotzi was released from WWE just last week after the company opted not to renew her contract.
Natalya’s dungeon has been a breeding ground for top-tier talent, with both WWE stars and independent wrestlers honing their skills under her guidance. It’s unclear how long Shotzi has been training there, but the sight of her working out in the dungeon has fans speculating about her next move.
Shotzi recently opened up on Busted Open Radio about feeling a sense of relief after her WWE release. She admitted that she didn’t expect to be let go but now feels like a weight has been lifted. “Honestly, I didn’t expect this, but I just feel so free and I feel like this weight is lifted off me. I feel clarity and extremely motivated and excited for the future,” she said.
Shotzi added that she’s ready to get back to wrestling after what felt like two years of being sidelined. “I’m excited to get to work, since I’ve been sitting at home for what feels like the last two years,” she explained.
Now, with her training in Natalya’s dungeon, fans are eagerly watching to see what Shotzi’s next move will be. Will she dominate the indie circuit, return to TNA, or show up in AEW?
