WWE’s Shotzi reveals the big promise Triple H made to her after taking over

Last month, fans of WWE’s Shotzi were delighted to see that a major part of her NXT entrance had made it back to the main roster.

The green-haired Superstar had won a legion of fans with her ‘Ballsy Badass’ persona but when she was first introduced to the WWE audience her entrance included her riding in on a tank.

Then, all of a sudden, the tank was gone from her SmackDown entrance. But, last month, Shotzi’s tank made its long-awaited return and it now shoots pyro!

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Shotzi revealed that it was Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque who was responsible for the tank returning.

“Hunter told me immediately when he came back that I would be getting my tank back,” Shotzi said. “But not just getting it back but upgraded, with some pyro. So I was super excited about the pyro. I love it. It’s bigger and better.

“I had been visiting my tank before this because it’s been at the warehouse and, you know, it hasn’t changed too much, just the pyro,” she added.

Shotzi also spoke about losing her last name, Blackheart, when she moved to the main roster.

“It doesn’t really bother me,” Shotzi explained. “I love being Shotzi, that is what’s most important to me. I mean, I’ll take the last name back but it’s still a part of me.

“Maybe they don’t announce it, but I’m still Shotzi Blackheart.”
