SmackDown Superstar Shotzi is thrilled that WWE agreed with her decision to shave her head in support of her sister earlier this year.
During her feud with Bayley, Shotzi debuted her dramatic new look during an episode of SmackDown, which was in support of her sister who has undergone chemotherapy.
Speaking with Steve Fall of “The Ten Count” podcast, Shotzi recalled her conversation with Triple H about how she wanted her new look to be incorporated into programming. She said,
“My sister was going through chemotherapy and she started losing her hair. She told me that she didn’t want to wait for it to all fall out. She was going to shave it off. I immediately went to Hunter and was like, ‘Hey, my sister’s going through chemo. I want to support her. I want to be there for her. I want to shave my hair off too. Can we make it not weird and make it part of a storyline so I don’t just show up one day with no hair’, and he was totally for it.
“I got to work with Bayley with it too, which Bayley has always been a huge role model to me, so to have that moment with her and share this meaningful moment with her was really awesome. I didn’t really say much of it, but like, everyone kind of knew anyway and that really resonated with my sister, and she got like a lot of support from my fans, which I really love and appreciate too.”
Shotzi’s sister has a GoFundMe account to help with medical costs. Her GoFundMe page can be found here.

SmackDown Superstar Shotzi made headlines earlier this year when she decided to shave her head in support of her sister, who was undergoing chemotherapy. The WWE supported her decision and incorporated her new look into the storyline of her feud with Bayley.
Shotzi revealed in an interview with “The Ten Count” podcast that she approached Triple H, the executive vice president of WWE, about her desire to shave her head. She explained that her sister didn’t want to wait for her hair to fall out due to chemotherapy and decided to shave it off. Shotzi wanted to show her support and asked Triple H if they could make it part of a storyline instead of just suddenly appearing with a bald head. Triple H was fully supportive of the idea.
The opportunity to work with Bayley, who has been a role model for Shotzi, made the moment even more special. Shotzi didn’t explicitly mention the reason behind her shaved head on television, but everyone in the WWE community knew about it. This resonated with her sister, who received a lot of support from Shotzi’s fans.
To help with medical costs, Shotzi’s sister has a GoFundMe account, which can be found on the platform. This initiative shows the importance of rallying together as a community to support those going through challenging times.
