WWE NXT Management Left "In A Panic" After Shotzi's Injury During Latest Taping

WWE NXT management was left "in a panic" after Shotzi suffered an injury during next week's taping of the gold brand.

The February 20, 2024, episode was taped this week as WWE wants several notable people around for WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth next week. During the tapings, Shotzi challenged NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria.

Unfortunately, Shotzi suffered a knee injury while attempting her apron DDT. This resulted in the match being stopped midway. It was later confirmed that, unlike Ridge Holland and Ilja Dragunov, this injury is not a work.
Update on Shotzi's WWE NXT Injury

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer addressed Shotzi's injury and said those at the taping were left in a panic when her situation arose.

"They were in a panic. They were stalling to try to figure out what to do. And maybe nobody else was ready. And she had just wrestled. Maybe she was in her gear. Maybe nobody else was in their gear."

Meltzer added that Shotzi has been pulled from the Women's Elimination Chamber qualifying match on this week's SmackDown she was supposed to be a part of. He added:

"I don't know the severity of the Shotzi injury. But I do know that she left the building on crutches. And it was a knee injury."

There's no word on when fans can expect to see Shotzi back in the ring. We at SE Scoops would like to wish her a full and speedy recovery.
