Former WWE superstar Shotzi Blackheart has revealed that she has been trying to get her iconic entrance tank back from the company since her contract expired, but has been unsuccessful in her efforts. In a new interview, she stated that she has even offered to buy the tank from WWE, but the company has been “dragging its feet” on the issue. The tank was a signature part of her presentation in both NXT and on the main roster.
Speaking with Shakiel Mahjouri of SHAK Wrestling, Shotzi shared her frustration and confusion about the situation. She explained that while WWE has returned some of the custom parts of the tank that she personally provided, they have not been willing to part with the main vehicle itself.
“They kind of are,” she said when asked if the company was dragging its feet about giving her the tank back. “They did send me parts of it that did belong to me, like I gave them the big skull that was on it, and the TCB lettering that was on it. So they gave me those. But I’m not sure why they won’t give me the full tank back,” she said. “Like, I even offered to buy it. I was like, ‘Whatever you guys want for it, I will dish it out,’ just because it means so much to me, and it was such a big part of my career, and my entrance is always such a huge deal for me.”
She continued, expressing her belief that the tank is likely just sitting in storage and not being used for anything. “So, yeah, I just want it back, and I know that they’re not going to use it. I’m sure it’s in the warehouse and there’s just a bunch of stuff piled on top of it,” she said. “So yeah, I’m still hoping, holding out, that they’re gonna give it back to me.” Her comments are a direct plea to her former employer to return a piece of her history that is deeply meaningful to her.
Shotzi’s WWE contract expired earlier this year, making her a free agent. She recently appeared at a GCW Homecoming event to help Killer Kross and Scarlett in their feud with Matt Cardona.
