Shotzi Blackheart shared the story behind one of her most unique WWE moments: wrestling at a live event in her own wedding dress on the same day she got married. Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, she called the experience her favorite memory from her time with the company.
She explained that the entire event came together spontaneously after she was booked on a show in Las Vegas while she and her husband were planning a big wedding.
“That is something that I’m so grateful for that WWE let me do. So I got married in Vegas, and this was completely unplanned. We had been engaged for a few months, and we were planning a big wedding, and I got booked on a Vegas live event after the holidays. I turned to my husband, and I was like, ‘What if we just eloped in Vegas?’ He was like, ‘Yes! Absolutely, let’s do that.’ I’m so glad we did it, because it was so stress-free and so much fun.”
Once they decided to elope, she pitched the idea of incorporating it into the show to WWE executive Road Dogg, who was immediately on board.
“And then when we decided that we were gonna do that, I hit up Road Dogg. And I was like, ‘Hey, I’m getting married before the Vegas live event. Can I wrestle in my wedding dress and can we make it a whole thing?’ He was like, Absolutely. Road Dogg is so down for the fun stuff. So yeah, he was game on. That’s probably my favorite WWE memory.”
