Pro wrestling star Shotzi Blackheart's sultry reason for AEW interest
She appeared on "The Ariel Helwani Show" on Tuesday and discussed the promotions she would be interested in joining as she attempts to find a full-time home. She mentioned that she loved All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and Total Nonstop Action wrestling and watches their programming.
She explained why AEW would be her preference if she had a choice.
"For so many reasons," she said. "I love their freedom. I have a lot of friends there who are doing really awesome things. I've heard many stories of how (AEW co-owner) Tony (Khan) treats talent. I do love that he really cares for his talent – that is super important to me.
"And like, hot girls get to make out with each other, so, like, that's cool."
For what it's worth on Shotzi's latter point, AEW stars Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa shared a kiss after their match at Double or Nothing last month. Storm faces Mercedes Moné for the AEW Women's Championship at All In next month.
Shotzi, whose real name is Ashley Urbanski, also made clear she loved working for WWE and was only unhappy when she wasn't being used.
"I mean, I would love to be back at WWE," she said. "I loved working there. I didn't love not working there. It was only when I wasn't being used that I was unhappy, but anytime I was being used, good time – love the locker room, loved everyone I was working for. That's just it. I just don't want to go back and not work."
Shotzi attempted to join WWE through the company's "Tough Enough" challenge in 2015. IT wasn't until 2019 that she joined the NXT brand and worked her way to the main roster.
She was an NXT women's tag-team champion with Embar Moon, who wrestles as Athena in the AEW-affiliated Ring of Honor. She was also named the 2020 NXT Breakout Star of the Year.

Fox News' Dana Perino Insists Newsom's Trump Trolling Is ‘Cringe' and ‘Just Not Funny'
The California Governor claps back against "DING DONG DANE" with another all caps Trump parody Fox News personality Dana Perino was adamant on Tuesday's episode of 'The Five' that she gets what the joke is with Gavin Newsom's parodies of Donald Trump social media posts. She thinks 'it's just not funny.' Newsom has recently started doing ALL CAPS parodies of Donald Trump's social media posts, only from his own POV, which has drawn a lot of attention to the California governor. On Monday, Perino dismissed Newsom's efforts to mock the president and promote his own agenda in this way, saying in part that he is 'making a fool of yourself, stop it,' and that 'he has to be a little bit more serious' if he wants to be President of the United States.

'South Park': Towelie Returns to Visit Trump's White House, Militarized DC in Episode 3 Trailer Watch: 'Severance' Director Ben Stiller Shares Britt Lower's Audition Tape, Praises It as 'The Best I've Seen' Setting aside the fact that the current president didn't have to 'be a little bit more serious' to get his job, people mocked Perino for those comments, accusing her among other things of not getting the joke. And so it is on Tuesday's 'The Five' she waded into it again. 'California's got a huge amount of problems. And if you think about Mamdani, his authenticity is what rocketed him to the top. And now you have Cuomo trying to copy him, and it's just cringe. And that was my point. Is that if you're doing this and it's not authentic and you're trying to do somebody else who you say is Hitler and you think that we don't get the joke, oh no, we get the joke, it's just not funny,' Perino said in part. Watch part of that below: Shortly after the episode aired, Newsom clapped back with another Trump parody. 'DANA 'DING DONG' PERINO (NEVER HEARD OF HER UNTIL TODAY!) IS MELTING DOWN BECAUSE OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM! FOX HATES THAT I AM AMERICA'S MOST FAVORITE GOVERNOR ('RATINGS KING') SAVING AMERICA — WHILE TRUMP CAN'T EVEN CONQUER THE 'BIG' STAIRS ON AIR FORCE ONE ANYMORE!!! TRUMP HAS 'LOST HIS STEP' AND FOX IS LOSING IT BECAUSE WHEN I TYPE, AMERICA NOW WINS!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. — GCN,' Newsom said. We'll keep you updated if this disagreement goes into day three. Meanwhile, Newsom explained last week in a press conference what his strategy is. 'I hope it's a wakeup call. The President of the United States — I'm sort of following his example. And if you've got issues with what I'm putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns about what he's putting out as president,' he said in part. He continued: 'So to the extent it's gotten some attention, I'm pleased. But I think the deeper question is: How have we allowed the normalization of his tweets, Truth Social posts over the course of the last many years to go without similar scrutiny and notice?'

Which ‘Bachelor in Paradise' Season 10 Couples Are Still Together? Here's What We Know
Bachelor in Paradise season 10 is still in full swing, but that doesn't mean we don't know what really went down in Costa Rica. Last week, Bachelor Nation expert and professional spoiler Reality Steve updated his BiP season 10 finale spoilers, revealing which Bachelor in Paradise season 10 couples are still together. Major spoilers for season 10 ahead! Proceed with caution. According to Reality Steve, four romantic couples make it to the finale: Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards, Alexe Godin and Andrew Spencer, Kat Izzo and Dale Moss, and Jeremy Simon and Bailey Brown. Just because they make it to the finale doesn't necessarily mean they're still together, of in this case, Reality Steve reports that the final four couples are all still going strong! That's the good news. The bad news? According to the blogger, no other couples from Bachelor in Paradise are still together, including the recently eliminated Brian Autz and Parisa Shifteh or any of the Goldens (though this has not been confirmed). Per Steve, here's an update on the four couples still together after leaving BiP. Are Jeremy and Bailey still together after Bachelor in Paradise? Reality Steve claimed that Jeremy and Bailey are still together, despite the Brian drama that occurred last week. In fact, it's because of that drama—in which Brian told Bailey about Jeremy's lingering feelings for Susie Evans—that we have our most convincing evidence about their current relationship status. After the episode aired, Alexe took to her Instagram Stories to comment and said in part, 'I am so happy that Jeremy and Bailey found a true connection on the show and I continue to wish both of them nothing but the best.' Doesn't sound like something you'd write about a couple that's no longer together! Are Alexe and Andrew still together after Bachelor in Paradise? Alexe and Andrew have been hinting at their relationship status on Instagram for a while, so it makes sense that they'd still be together. Last week, Alexe posted some sweet photos of herself and Andrew with the caption, 'mon chéri' ('my honey' in French), while Andrew returned the favor with a series of Rose Ceremony pics captioned 'mon amour' ('my love'). Are Dale and Kat still together after Bachelor in Paradise? Dale and Kat haven't been posting about each other too much on social media, but Reality Steve reported that the couple does make it to the final three and is still together. According to the blogger, you can expect to see Dale and Kat hit a major speed bump in the finale, when Sean McLaughlin returns to Paradise and accuses Kat of having a boyfriend when she first arrived in Costa Rica. 'It does get pretty messy,' Reality Steve teased. Are Spencer and Jess still together after Bachelor in Paradise? Spencer and Jess have already said their 'I love yous' in Paradise, so it's not super surprising to hear that these two are reportedly still together. Spencer hinted as much in this Instagram Story about the sweet moment, sharing photos of the moment with the caption, 'Already won.' As for who wins... Hopefully, fans will get a better update on the BiP season 10 couples at the reunion, which—per Reality Steve—will be filmed on September 3 after the show has finished airing. When that reunion will be released, however, is still tbd. You Might Also Like Here's What NOT to Wear to a Wedding Meet the Laziest, Easiest Acne Routine You'll Ever Try Solve the daily Crossword
