Pro wrestling star Shotzi Blackheart calls being MLW women's champion 'the greatest thing ever'

Major League Wrestling star Shotzi Blackheart talks to Fox News Digital about being the women's champ and having influx of challengers.

Shotzi Blackheart began her first Major League Wrestling (MLW) Women’s World Championship reign earlier this year when she defeated Shoko Nakajima on "Fusion."

It’s her first title of any kind of MLW, and she relished the fact that she sits on top of the MLW women’s division after only joining the company officially in March.

"Oh my god, it feels so good. Like, look at this beauty. I love it," she said, showing off her championship belt in an interview with Fox News Digital. "I love MLW. I am such a proud champion. Like, I love this company so much. I've never had a company understand Shotzi Blackheart more than MLW. So, to be the champion there is just like the greatest thing ever. Yes, so proud."

Now, Shotzi has a target on her back. The challengers are lining up. She will make her latest title defense against Kira, who is a rising star with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL).

Kira joined CMLL in 2023 and became an immediate player, participating in the tournament to crown the CMLL Universal Amazonas champion. She didn’t win that match but has a good opportunity to win the MLW women’s world title against Shotzi on Saturday.
