WWE Rejected Ex-Champion’s Emotional Request: “I’m Still Hoping”

Shotzi Blackheart made a memorable mark in WWE with her unique character and fearless in-ring style.

She was known for her dark, edgy persona, with a bold attitude and vibrant energy. One of the most defining aspects of her WWE career was her entrance using a small tank, which became an iconic part of her presentation.

The tank wasn’t just a prop; it symbolized her wild, tank-like approach to matches, rolling into the arena like a one-woman wrecking crew. Originally introduced during her NXT run, the tank’s visual impact grew as she ascended to the main roster. Shotzi often used the tank to set the tone before a match, and it was a symbol of her unique identity.

Shotzi Asked WWE To Give the Tank Back, but WWE Refused

Shotzi’s WWE contract expired in May 2025, after which she left the promotion. Speaking on SHAK Wrestling, the ex-WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion revealed she had asked the company to return her entrance tank. Despite offering to buy the tank outright, the company refused her request. She believes the full tank remains locked away in the promotion’s warehouse, gathering dust. But remains hopeful that WWE will give it back someday.

“But I’m not sure why they won’t give me the full tank back. Like, I even offered to buy it. I was like, ‘Whatever you guys want for it, I will dish it out,’ just because it means so much to me, and it was such a big part of my career, and my entrance is always such a huge deal for me.

So, yeah, I just want it back, and I know that they’re not going to use it. I’m sure it’s in the warehouse, and there’s just a bunch of stuff piled on top of it. So yeah, I’m still hoping, holding out, that they’re gonna give it back to me.”

Since leaving WWE, Shotzi has been active on the independent wrestling circuit, primarily working with Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) and other indie promotions.
