Pro wrestling star Shotzi Blackheart calls being MLW women’s champion ‘the greatest thing ever’
Pro wrestler Shotzi Blackheart has spoken to Fox News Digital about her first Major League Wrestling (MLW) Women's World Championship reign, describing being champion as "the greatest thing ever". Having only officially joined MLW in March, she won the title by defeating Shoko Nakajima on the promotion's "Fusion" programme, and said no company had ever understood her better than MLW.
With the belt now on her shoulder, Shotzi faces a growing line of challengers, the next being Kira, a rising star from Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). Kira joined CMLL in 2023 and quickly made an impact, competing in the tournament to crown the CMLL Universal Amazonas champion, though she did not win it. Shotzi praised Kira as an impressive high-flyer who could soon lead CMLL, and the pair are set to meet on Saturday, while friend Scarlett Bordeaux is also among those eyeing a shot at the title.
