During this period, she memorably challenged Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women's Championship at Survivor Series WarGames in 2022. In 2023, she bravely shaved her head as part of a storyline with Damage CTRL, an act that also served as a poignant real-life tribute to her sister,r who was battling cancer. Shotzi made a return to NXT in late 2023 and early 2024, aligning with Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley, before the recent news of her upcoming contract expiration. Shotzi will be someone who won't be hurt for work as she had a name on the independent scene before signing with WWE and will pick up where she left off before going to WWE.
