WWE star Shotzi recently appeared on The RIP Tour podcast, where she talked about a number of topics including which faction got her into the wrestling business.
Shotzi said, “I watched a little bit with my brother growing up, but I was never a huge fan. I just never thought that someone as small as me could be a wrestler. I always thought you had to have the biggest muscles ever to be a wrestler. I was doing musical theater, I moved back home from going to musical theater college and dropped that dream. I started watching WWE again, and it was the Wyatt family that I was watching that got me into wrestling again. I thought they were so cool. Me and my sister wanted to be the female version of them. The rest is history. We talked about that, and I immediately went online, ‘How do you get into wrestling?’ I looked up schools near me and started training a few months later. I thank the Wyatt family for that.” “I was a theater kid. I was watching wrestling and was like, ‘this is aggressive theater.’ This is what I need to do.”
