Shotzi Blackheart Admits WWE Gave No Reason for Her Release

WWE released Shotzi Blackheart last month and this came as a shocker to many. While many wondered if WWE actually gave her a reason for her release, Blackheart has now admitted that wasn’t the case at all.

While speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Shotzi was asked if she was ever given a reason for her WWE release. She explained that WWE hadn’t been using her for a while, so she felt they knew for a little bit that her contract wouldn’t be renewed.

Shotzi Blackheart added that she was never given an official reason for her release, but admitted that’s just how the business works. She said WWE doesn’t owe her anything and believes they simply didn’t see her as a money-making talent, which she has just accepted.

“They hadn’t been using me for a while, so they knew for a little bit they weren’t gonna renew my contract. No [they didn’t give me a reason], and unfortunately that’s just how it is. I probably will never know why they released me. WWE doesn’t owe me anything—that’s showbiz. They just didn’t think I was money, and I can take that.”
