Shotzi Blackheart Books Her Dream Matches For WWE Evolution 2: “Put Tatum Paxley On The Map”
As WWE gears up for the long-awaited return of Evolution, the all-women’s premium live event set for Saturday, July 13th in Atlanta, fans and Superstars alike are buzzing with ideas for dream matchups, and Shotzi Blackheart is no exception.
During her recent appearance on The Wrestleholics podcast, Shotzi revealed the matches she would book if given the pencil for Evolution 2, and her picks shine a spotlight on some of WWE’s underutilized and international talent. Staying true to her reputation as one of the most passionate and creatively-minded performers in the women’s division, Shotzi used the platform to spotlight those she feels are long overdue for their moment.
“I think that Tatum Paxley doesn’t get used enough. I would love to see what she could do against IYO. I feel like that could put Tatum on the map. I feel like she deserves that for sure.”
“Stephanie Vaquer is super awesome. I would love to see her go one on one with Lyra Valkyria. They would do some crazy stuff together.”
Shotzi’s booking ideas underscore her belief in giving under-the-radar talent their flowers, and in a potential clash between Tatum Paxley and IYO SKY, she sees an opportunity to elevate one of NXT’s most enigmatic characters. With IYO having recently returned to the singles division, and is currently in her reign as WWE Women’s Champion, a high-stakes showdown with Paxley could be a career-defining bout for both.
On the international side, Shotzi is looking toward Chile’s Stephanie Vaquer, the NXT Women’s Champion and NXT Women’s North American Champion, who has been turning heads since signing with WWE. Pairing her against Lyra Valkyria, who’s been on a tear since moving up from NXT, is a stylistic dream. Both women are known for their hybrid offense and unique in-ring chemistry, making this a potential show-stealer.
While there’s no official card yet for Evolution 2, Shotzi’s fantasy booking adds to the mounting anticipation. WWE has already confirmed the event will emanate from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, with expectations high following the success of the inaugural 2018 edition.
