One big thing: Mideon developing horror-themed gimmick for injured WWE star Shotzi
Former WWE star Mideon is working on a new character for Shotzi, drawing inspiration from the movie “American Psycho” and horror films. This revelation came during Mideon’s appearance on The Undertaker’s “Six Feet Under” podcast.
Key details:
• Mideon envisions Shotzi as a roller derby-inspired character with a dark twist
• The concept involves Shotzi watching current women’s wrestling alongside horror movies
• Mideon suggests incorporating famous horror movie tropes into Shotzi’s storylines
• Shotzi has been sidelined with a torn ACL since February 13, 2023
What they’re saying:
“I really kind of got this ‘American Psycho’ thing working for Shotzi, who I love,” Mideon said. “She’s kind of been sitting at home, and see the video of her, and there’s two TVs, there’s a TV in front of her, and she’s watching the current women’s stable wrestle, and there’s a TV next to her with the ending of ‘Texas Chainsaw’, where all you hear is chainsaws, so she goes kind of insane a little bit.”
Why it matters:
This potential character shift could revitalize Shotzi’s career upon her return, offering a fresh and edgy persona that aligns with her real-life interest in horror. It also demonstrates WWE’s willingness to collaborate with former talent to develop new ideas for current stars.
The bigger picture:
• WWE recently filed a trademark for Shotzi’s old ring name “Shotzi Blackheart
• This move, combined with Mideon’s character development, suggests a possible repackaging for Shotzi’s return
• The horror-inspired gimmick could set Shotzi apart in the women’s division and potentially lead to more prominent storylines
