A former WWE Superstar recently claimed that the Stamford-based company has a very unique plan for Shotzi’s return from injury. The name in question is former European Champion Mideon.

Shotzi has been absent from television for over seven months. The 32- year-old tore her ACL during her match against Lyra Valkyria on the February 13 edition of WWE’s developmental brand. The two superstars were fighting for the NXT Women’s Championship. Unfortunately, the contest had to be stopped after the challenger injured her knee, and Valkyria retained her title. With the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion still on her road to recovery, there has been no update regarding when she will return to WWE television. However, during his recent appearance on the Six Feet Under podcast, Mideon claimed he was working on a new gimmick inspired by a character in the 2000 movie American Psycho for the injured superstar. The 55-year-old revealed that he envisioned Shotzi as a roller derby character:

“I was asked by a couple of people to ‘help them out’ on their returns, ideas for stories. So I really kind of got this ‘American Psycho’ thing working for Shotzi, who I love. I see her as a roller derby…did she not fit the roller derby thing? Although I’ve kind of went in an ‘American Psycho’ thing, where she’s kind of been sitting at home, and see the video of her, and there’s two TVs, there’s a TV in front of her, and she’s watching the current women’s stable wrestle, and there’s a TV next to her with the ending of ‘Texas Chainsaw’, where all you hear is chainsaws, so she goes kind of insane a little bit,” he said.

Mideon also talked about Shotzi’s love for horror movies. He further opened up about the possibility of using several tropes similar to the ones used for Wyatt Sicks for Blackheart.

“Then she’s just obsessed with horror movies, which she already is, and then we kind of influence that, and we can even use certain famous tropes or scenes from horror movies as set-ups, like when the Wyatt Sicks dusted through Gorilla and left everybody down. You can do smaller versions of that with her. Tied to a chair made of human bones, have her opponent tied to a chair and have her reciting crazy poetry.” [H/T: Fightful]
