After taking part in Tough Enough in 2015, Shotzi joined World Wrestling Entertainment in 2019.

Shotzi sent an update about her recovery ahead of her WWE return

In May 2024, Shotzi took to Instagram to share that she finally got the stem cell treatment for her back that she hurt in the past. The former SmackDown star also wrote that her knee injury allowed her back to heal, before mentioning that she was looking forward to wrestling without any pain after her recovery:

"In Mexico to finally get the stem cells I have been wanting since I hurt my back 2 and 1/2 years ago! Realizing that my knee injury is giving me the opportunity to finally heal my back has been a huge silver lining. Thank you @rejuvstem Thank you Universe. I am forever grateful. Here is to wrestling pain free when I come back! But first coconuts and cenotes!" wrote Shotzi.

It remains to be seen what the Stamford-based promotion has planned for Shotzi's future.

We at Sportskeeda send our condolences to WWE star Shotzi and her family during this extremely difficult time.
