Shotzi talks about embracing change after WWE removed the tank from her entrance
WWE Superstar Shotzi revealed that the higher-ups in the company decided that she would no longer come down to the ring in her miniature tank.
In a change that surprised many, WWE officials recently chose to remove the tank from the SmackDown star's entrance. The move confused her, considering how popular the prop was with fans.
Speaking to Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, the 30-year-old stated that she would embrace the change after the promotion chose to alter her presentation.
"That wasn't my decision, but I'm embracing the change because I've been 'the ballsy badass' my entire career, even on the Indies, I was always looked at as a babyface. It's nice after seven years later to finally change up the character and find something new within me. I think I'm finally grabbing the horns and rolling with it." (H/T Fightful)
