Shotzi Blackheart’s Contract with MLW Has Expired

[Kemo]

A new update has emerged about former WWE Star Shotzi Blackheart’s future in wrestling.

Shotzi Blackheart left WWE in May 2025 after the promotion chose not to renew her contract. She returned to the independent circuit the following month and debuted for Major League Wrestling. She held the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Championship for over 200 days and is currently holding the House of Glory Women’s Title.

According to Fightful‘s Sean Ross Sapp, Shotzi Blackheart’s MLW contract expired on October 5, 2026. Sources informed that they had nothing but positive experiences with Blackheart. They hope to continue working with her as long as possible.

She has now returned to TNA Wrestling for the first time in nearly seven years. The promotion had its post-Bound for Glory television tapings in Dothan, Alabama, yesterday. Shotzi Blackheart made a surprise appearance and competed. She previously wrestled two matches in the company in 2019. There’s no word on whether she has signed with the company. Most wrestlers work under a pay-per-appearance deal there.

Blackheart’s most recent match took place at the HOG Salvation event on October 9. She and AEW’s Lio Rush lost to former WWE Stars Tommy End (Aleister Black) and Xelina (Zelina Vega).
