Shotzi is going to be a free agent soon.
The “Ballsy Badass” made waves last week when she posted an emotional social media promo. During the video, she explained why she gave herself the “Ballsy” nickname and said that she’s evolved into a new form and nothing can shake her.
Following that, many fans speculated that Shotzi had been released by WWE. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select) later confirmed that Shotzi was still under contract. However, her deal is set to expire soon. In a subsequent update, it was noted she “saw the writing on the wall” and prepared the promo in advance. Despite her WWE tenure coming to an end, Shotzi is said to be optimistic and excited about her future.
When does Shotzi’s WWE contract expire?
Now, Shotzi shared more information about her contract status herself. She wrote on Twitter/X (in a since-deleted post) she still has “a good amount of time on my contract.” She also went on to note that “come July I will be full time balls to the walls!” Blackheart also shared her booking info and said she’s “ready to dominate.”
I am more than grateful for the wild ride! Can’t wait to see where this crazy journey takes me next! I hope to make all my believers proud. ?

“The Ballsy Badass” has been with WWE since November 2019. She debuted as “Shotzi Blackheart,” the same name she used on the independent scene. Her name was later shortened to the mononym “Shotzi” when she debuted on the SmackDown roster in 2021.
She spent time on the NXT and SmackDown brands during her tenure. This includes winning the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship once with Ember Moon. She won NXT’s Breakout Star of the Year Award in 2020. Her last match on the WWE roster was a loss to Zoey Stark on WWE Speed in February 2025.
WWE has not publicly commented on Shotzi’s status with the company.
