Shotzi is excited about former WWE Superstar's upcoming match
The WWE Universe spent a significant amount of time last year awaiting the return of The Boss, Sasha Banks.
Many fans believed that Sasha Banks was going to be revealed as Bianca Belair's final teammate at Survivor Series WarGames, as the premium live event aired from Sasha's hometown in Boston, MA. As it turned out, the date Sasha Banks was waiting for was January 4th and she made her debut as Mercedes Moné in NJPW.
At Wrestle Kingdom 17, Mercedes confronted former WWE Superstar Kairi after she successfully defended the IWGP Women's Championship. Moné attacked the champion and a match was set for NJPW Battle in the Valley on February 18th.
Shotzi tagged Kairi and Mercedes in a tweet after the match was announced and noted that the match will be a banger next month:
"Cant wait for the banger @MercedesVarnado and @KAIRI_official is about to give. San Jose you are spoiled! Get yourself some orange sauce and a burrito at La Vics after the show!" Shotzi tweeted.

Shotzi has not wrestled a match on television since losing to Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series last November. It will be interesting to see what WWE creative has in store for the former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion in 2023.
