Ex-WWE Champion Injured, Pulled From Upcoming Events
A former champion in WWE has been forced to pull out of upcoming events thanks to an unfortunate injury.
WWE has been in cutting mode in recent months as the roster has taken several hits. One round of cuts saw several main roster and NXT stars let go, including the likes of Shayna Baszler, Braun Strowman, and Shotzi.
Shotzi recently revealed the bizarre reason she’d be happy to sign with AEW as she has got back on the independent scene following her release.
Ex-WWE Star Shotzi Suffering Arm Injury
Unfortunately, Fightful Select has confirmed that a recent picture of Shotzi wearing a cast is for real and that the star has been forced to pull out of bookings due to injury. She will still be working select bookings for the time being.

Shotzi is making the most of the situation with Matt Cardona on social media, with Cardona taking the plaudits for injuring the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion and releasing a t-shirt proclaiming “I broke Shotzi’s arm.”
Since leaving WWE, Shotzi has used both that and her Shotzi Blackheart name in GCW, MLW, and most recently in PROGRESS in the UK, where she faced former NXT UK star Nina Samuels.
