On tonight’s episode of NXT, Valkyria officially sanctioned Shotzi an opportunity to vie for the NXT Women’s Championship. Regrettably, the turn of events did not favor Shotzi, who appears to have sustained a major injury. Further updates on Shotzi’s condition are anticipated in the coming hours.
Shotzi has been an integral part of WWE for approximately five years, having inked a deal with the Stamford-based organization in late 2019. Among her notable achievements is capturing the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles alongside Ember Moon, now known as Athena.
