Shotzi Blackheart suffered a serious injury during a February NXT TV taping, leading to changes in the planned events. After her injury, she had surgery and has begun her rehabilitation. In the meantime, there are plans for an American Psycho gimmick for her in WWE.
During the mentioned WWE NXT taping, Shotzi suffered a knee injury while trying to perform her apron DDT. This injury made it difficult for her to put weight on her knee and caused her significant pain. Shotzi has already confirmed that she suffered an ACL tearand underwent surgery for the injury, for which she would be on the shelf for nine months.
Mideons various characters in WWE might not be known for being very deep or complex, but figures like Naked Mideon, who came to the ring in just a fanny pack, and Phineas I. Godwinn have made their mark in WWE history. Despite the mixed reviews, the person behind these characters has a creative side.
While speaking on the Six Feet Under podcast with The Undertaker, Mideon mentioned that some wrestlers have asked him for help with their gimmicks. Right now, hes creating an American Psycho-inspired character for injured WWE Superstar Shotzi. Mideon wants Shotzi to reflect her love for horror films, imagining her as a roller derby character influenced by the American Psycho theme.
The idea is that Shotzi watches a womens wrestling group on one TV while another screen shows a scene from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which drives her a bit crazy. This character could use horror movie elements, similar to past WWE moments, like when the Wyatt Sicks charged through the backstage area. Mideon even thought about visuals like having Shotzis opponent tied to a chair made of bones while she reads strange poetry, mixing horror with wrestling to create an interesting story.
Shotzi also underwentstem cell therapy during her absence. It remains to be seen whenever she will be able to return to in-ring action at the end of the year as an American Psycho gimmick will certainly be an interesting idea for her comeback as well.
