Early career (2014–2019) Urbanski began her career at
Hoodslam in
Oakland, California in 2014 as Missy Highasshit, a cheerleader valet for the Stoner Brothers and stable Stoner U (a comedic parody of
Missy Hyatt and the
Steiner Brothers). She also frequently appeared on the California
independent circuit, wrestling for
All Pro Wrestling, Bar Wrestling, and Big Time Wrestling, as well as
Nashville, Tennessee promotion
Impact Wrestling. Urbanski made her debut for
Shimmer Women Athletes on November 11, 2016, in a loss to
Melanie Cruise. She made her
Evolve debut at Evolve 115 on November 9, 2018, under the ring name Shotzi Blackheart (the last name being a reference to American rock singer
Joan Jett, of whom Urbanski is a fan), challenging
Allysin Kay for the
Shine Championship in a losing effort. Blackheart also competed for
Shine Wrestling, and at Shine 58 on May 10, 2019, Blackheart defeated Aja Perera to win the
Shine Nova Championship. At Shine 59 on June 29, she retained the title in a triple threat match involving Perera and
Santana Garrett. Blackheart successfully defended the title against
Natalia Markova at Shine 60. At
Evolve 137 on October 11, 2019, after defeating Perera,
William Regal, who at that time was working for
WWE's
developmental brand NXT, offered Blackheart a WWE contract during an unannounced appearance, and due to this, she had to vacate the Shine Nova Championship.
WWE (2019–2025) Tough Enough (2015) In 2015, Urbanski took part in the trials for the
sixth season of
WWE's competition
Tough Enough. She was initially selected as one of 6 women who would take part in that season's competition, but had to withdraw from it before it began, due to a previously undiagnosed irregular heartbeat causing a failed medical. She had a tryout for
WWE Performance Center in May 2016.
NXT (2019–2021) In October 2019, Urbanski signed with WWE and reported to the WWE Performance Center. She then joined the company in November 2019. She made her debut on an
NXT house show on December 5, 2019, losing to
Chelsea Green. She made her televised debut on the December 25 episode of
NXT as a
face, still under her independent ring name
Shotzi Blackheart in a loss to
Bianca Belair. At the
Royal Rumble on January 26, 2020, Blackheart entered her first
Royal Rumble match at #26 before being eliminated by Baszler. On the June 17 episode of
NXT, Blackheart and
Tegan Nox challenged
Bayley and
Sasha Banks for the
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, which they were unsuccessful in winning. At
Halloween Havoc, she served as the host during that episode, preventing Shirai during her match against
Candice LeRae from being attacked by a mysterious person wearing a
Ghostface mask (later revealed as
Indi Hartwell). She formed an alliance with
Rhea Ripley, Shirai, and
Ember Moon to compete at the
TakeOver: WarGames, where they faced off against LeRae,
Toni Storm,
Raquel González, and
Dakota Kai in a WarGames match, which her team lost. Blackheart and Moon participated in the
Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, but were defeated in the finals by Kai and González at
Vengeance Day. On the March 10 episode of
NXT, Blackheart and Moon defeated Kai and González to win the
NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, her first title in NXT. After retaining the titles at
TakeOver: Stand & Deliver against
The Way, they lost it against them on the may 5 episode of
NXT in a
street fight, which also marked Blackheart's final appearance for the brand.
SmackDown (2021–2024) On the July 9 episode of
SmackDown, Blackheart, now under the shortened ring name Shotzi, debuted alongside
Tegan Nox as Shotzi & Nox, but the team was disbanded when, as part of the
2021 Draft, Nox was drafted to the
Raw brand while Shotzi remained on the
SmackDown brand. On the October 29 episode of
SmackDown, after losing to
SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair in a championship contenders match, Shotzi attacked
Sasha Banks who was at ringside, turning
heel in the process. She worked on the SmackDown brand, participating in PPVs like
Survivor Series 2021,
Royal Rumble 2022, or
Money in the Bank 2022. She and
Xia Li participated in the
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament for the vacant
tag titles, but were eliminated by
Raquel Rodriguez and
Aliyah in the first round. On the September 16 episode of
SmackDown, Shotzi saved Rodriguez from an attack by
Damage CTRL (
Dakota Kai and
Iyo Sky), turning
face in the process. On the October 21 episode of
SmackDown, Shotzi and Rodriguez challenged Kai and Sky for the Women's Tag Team Championship, but were unsuccessful after
Bayley distracted Shotzi. The next day, she served as the host for
NXT Halloween Havoc alongside Quincy Elliot, attacking
Lash Legend after she interrupted them. On the November 11 episode of
SmackDown, Shotzi won a six-pack challenge, earning a SmackDown Women's Championship match against Ronda Rousey at
Survivor Series WarGames. At the event, Shotzi failed to win the title after interference from
Shayna Baszler. In the summer of 2023, Shotzi began feuding with Damage CTRL. Shotzi had some hair cut off by them, following an assault. She then decided to get back at them and remove her green hair entirely in a segment, although this was not just part of a storyline, but also done as a tribute to her sister in real life, who suffers from
bile duct cancer. Shotzi revealed her new look in a house show at
Mexico City. In November at
Survivor Series: WarGames, Shotzi, along with
Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair and
Becky Lynch, defeated Damage CTRL (Bayley,
Asuka, Iyo Sky, and
Kairi Sane) in a
WarGames match.
Return to NXT (2024–2025) During the February 13, 2024, taping of the February 20 episode of
NXT, Shotzi faced off against
NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria in a title match after trading shots on social media weeks prior, during which she suffered a knee injury and the match was put to an abrupt end. Shotzi was slated to face
Tiffany Stratton on the February 16 episode of
SmackDown in a qualifying match for a spot at the
Elimination Chamber match at
Elimination Chamber: Perth, but due to having suffered a
torn ACL during her match against Valkyria, which ruled her unable to compete for approximately nine months, her spot was taken over by
Alba Fyre. Shotzi returned from injury on the December 10, 2024 episode of
NXT, running to the aid of
Gigi Dolin and
Tatum Paxley as the pair faced an attack by
Fatal Influence (
Fallon Henley,
Jacy Jayne, and
Jazmyn Nyx), starting a feud with Fatal Influence and an alliance with Dolin and Paxley in the process. The teams faced each other at
NXT: New Year's Evil on January 7, 2025, with Shotzi's team coming out victorious. Her final WWE appearance was at
NXT Stand & Deliver on April 19, where she accompanied Dolin and Paxley to win a
fatal four-way tag team elimination match on the pre-show to become the #1 contenders for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. On May 3, Shotzi departed WWE as her contract with the company expired, ending her six-year tenure with the company and effectively ending the alliance of Shotzi, Paxley, and Dolin, the latter of whom was released a day prior.
Independent circuit (2025–present) On June 6, 2025, Blackheart returned to the independent circuit, competing at Hoodslam's Fearless event against one of her original trainers, Rick Stoner. Two days later, she made her debut for
Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) as a surprise entrant in the Tournament of Survival, where she was defeated by
Matt Tremont in a
three-way deathmatch for the
GCW Ultraviolent Championship, also involving
Jimmy Lloyd. After the match, Blackheart dubbed herself the "Indy God", which started a feud with
Matt Cardona, who also used the nickname. On July 5, Blackheart made her debut for
Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling (MLP) at
Resurrection, where she unsuccessfully challenged
Gisele Shaw for the
MLP Canadian Women's Championship. On November 21, 2025, Shotzi Blackheart defeated
Indi Hartwell at
Return to the Windy City to become the new
House of Glory Women's Champion.
Major League Wrestling (2025–present) On June 26, 2025, at
Summer of the Beasts, Blackheart made her debut for
Major League Wrestling (MLW), where she confronted
Yuki Kamifuku. Blackheart and Kamifuku were then interrupted by
Ava Everett, leading to a match between Blackheart and Everett being scheduled for
Blood and Thunder on August 9. She won the
MLW World Women's Featherweight Championship on a MLW Fusion TV tapings. On March 10, 2026, Blackheart officially signed with MLW. == Other media ==
