Shotzi Wellness Status Update
As noted before, Shotzi recently was involved in an online incident revolving around negative fan backlash over her performance during the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder match at this past Saturday’s WWE Money in the Bank 2022 event. Following her response, Shotzi deactivated her Twitter account over issues with negative fans and their comments over her response.
Shotzi recently provided a wellness update on Instagram stating that she is currently feeling fine following her recent online incident.
“I appreciate everyone checking on me but I swear I’m fine. I have been going through the toughest year of my personal life so it’s deeper than nasty comments, but also Twitter has not helped with my already fragile mind state. Just trying to stay motivated and positive. I am focused on my goals and not what’s on the internet.”

WWE Board of Directors Member Resigns from Company
One member of WWE’s Board of Directors recently resigned from the company, according to Fightful.
Jeremy Lambert reported that in a recent filing to the SEC, WWE revealed that Connor Schell had resigned from both their Board of Directors and company itself.
In the filing, WWE stated that the reason for Schell’s resignation was not due to anything WWE related and instead was due to his increased responsibilities at a newly formed company called The North Road Company.
On July 6, 2022, Connor Schell resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”), effective immediately. Mr. Schell resigned from the Board due to an increased slate of responsibilities resulting from his new, expanded role at the newly formed The North Road Company, a global, multi-genre content studio. Mr. Schell’s decision to resign from the Board was not due to any dispute or disagreement with the Company, its management or the Board on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Prior to his resignation, Schell had been a member of WWE’s Board of Directors since June of 2021.
