Shotzi Blackheart has withdrawn from CMLL’s Women’s Grand Prix, announcing on her social media accounts that she will no longer be part of the tour due to a personal matter involving her family.
According to Fightful, Shotzi explained that the situation arose suddenly, writing that she lost someone late on a Sunday night, prompting her to step away from the scheduled appearances. She did not provide further detail beyond citing the family matter as the reason for pulling out of the tour.
The Women’s Grand Prix is one of CMLL’s marquee showcases for women’s wrestling talent from outside the promotion’s regular roster, and Shotzi’s involvement had been part of that international lineup. Her withdrawal means CMLL will need to adjust its plans for the remainder of the tour, though no word has been given on who, if anyone, might replace her on the card.
Shotzi has built a reputation as one of the more recognizable names to work outside WWE in recent independent and international bookings, making her inclusion in CMLL’s Grand Prix a notable crossover appearance. Her sudden exit removes a significant name from the tour’s remaining dates.
No additional information has been released regarding the nature of the family matter, and out of respect for the personal nature of her statement, no further speculation is warranted. Fightful’s report indicates the announcement came directly from Shotzi herself across her social media platforms, framing the decision as immediate and tied specifically to the loss she described.
There has been no word yet from CMLL on how it will restructure the tour in light of her departure, nor any indication of whether Shotzi plans to return to the promotion for future events. As more details emerge regarding the Women’s Grand Prix lineup and any potential replacement, further updates will depend on official statements from either Shotzi or CMLL.
