Toni Storm, Shotzi Blackheart & Tegan Nox Called Up to SmackDown

Toni Storm, Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox have been moved from NXT to SmackDown.

Nox and Blackheart wrestled tonight on SmackDown, while Toni Storm got a “coming soon” video.

Nox and Blackheart came out to wrestle the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Natalya & Tamina in a non-title match, and won the match with a senton by Shotzi on Natalya.

The ring announcer referred to their team name as “Shotzi and Nox.” It looks like WWE has dropped the “Blackheart” from Shotzi’s name, but Michael Cole referred to Nox as “Tegan” several times, so they might be keeping her full name, while “Shotzi and Nox” appears to be their team name.

Nox just returned from an ACL injury this week on NXT and appeared to be starting a feud with Candice LeRae. Blackheart has been teaming with Ember Moon in NXT. Moon was previously on the main roster, but returned to NXT in September 2020 after coming back from an injury.

For Toni Storm, WWE aired a video hyping that she was “coming soon” to SmackDown.

Make way for #ToniStorm because she’s coming to #SmackDown!
