Shotzi Advances in WWE Speed Tournament – A new episode of WWE Speed premiered on Wednesday with Shotzi defeating a recently released wrestler.
With a victory over Isla Dawn, Shotzi advanced in the WWE Speed Women’s Championship number one contender’s tournament. The match was filmed at SmackDown last Friday, shortly before Dawn was released from her WWE contract. Dawn confirmed on Saturday that she was among the wrestlers departing WWE in a round of roster cuts.
A fisherman’s DDT got the win for Shotzi with 14 seconds left of the three-minute time limit.
It will be Shotzi vs. Zoey Stark in the finals of the tournament next Wednesday (February 19) with the winner advancing to challenge WWE Speed Women’s Champion Candice LeRae. LeRae became the inaugural champion last October but has only made one title defense since then, a time-limit draw against Natalya.
Shotzi, who has been competing in NXT, was slated for a spot in the women’s Royal Rumble match earlier this month but ended up being pulled for the returning Alexa Bliss.
