Shotzi reveals how shaving her head became part of a WWE storyline

Shotzi Blackheart has been on WWE's main roster for a while as she went through several ups and downs on the blue brand. Recently, she revealed why she shaved her head and how WWE took her request to add it to a storyline.

Earlier this year, Shotzi was feuding with Damage CTRL's Bayley on Friday Night SmackDown. After numerous encounters, Bayley got the upper hand when she cut her hair during a backstage segment.

Later, Shotzi returned to the promotion with a new look and went bald. Speaking to Steve Fall, Blackheart revealed why she went bald and how the management added it to her ongoing storyline on WWE SmackDown. Check it out:

"I still haven't really talked about it. My sister was going through chemotherapy and she started losing her hair. And she told me that she didn't want to wait for it to all fall off, she's just going to shave it off and I immediately went to Hunter and like Hey, my sister is going through chemo, and like I want to support her and I want to be there for her and I want to shave my hair too. Can we not make it weird and make it part of a storyline? So that I just don't show up one day with no hair. And he was totally for it." [13:00 - 13:40]

She also spoke about Bayley and praised her for supporting her during such difficult times while feuding with her on weekly television.
