Lyra Valkyria will defend her NXT Women’s Championship against Shotzi, as the enigmatic challenger seeks to dethrone the titleholder in an upcoming championship match on NXT.

WWE Superstar Shotzi tied the knot with her partner Jesus Alfaro in a spontaneous Las Vegas wedding before a WWE live event. The couple eloped and celebrated with Shotzi participating in a match later that evening, teaming with Bianca Belair to defeat Damage CTRL. Fellow wrestlers and celebrities congratulated the newlyweds on social media. Shotzi, a former "NXT" Tag Team Women's Champion, has been with WWE since 2019 and is a part of the "WWE SmackDown" roster.

Kevin Owens plans to continue his assault on Austin Theory, predicting more punches to the face before delivering a Stunner. Bianca Belair threatens revenge on Damage CTRL and challenges Iyo Sky for the Women's Championship at Crown Jewel. Bayley dismisses Belair's threat, claiming to know her well. Shotzi celebrates her victory over Chelsea Green but is challenged to a tag team match by Green and Piper Niven, who underestimate Shotzi's potential backup.

WWE's Scarlett Bordeaux opens up about her experience co-hosting NXT Halloween Havoc, describing it as "very hectic" with numerous wardrobe and makeup changes. She wanted to live up to Shotzi's previous hosting performances and put everything into the costumes and makeup. The duo complemented the women's matches on the card, with five women's matches compared to two for the men. Scarlett and Shotzi praised each other and expressed their enjoyment of working together, with Scarlett saying she would co-host again "in a heartbeat."

Shotzi made her return to WWE SmackDown on August 4th, attacking Bayley during a segment on the Grayson Waller Effect. She gained the upper hand, attempting to shave Bayley's head with an electric razor, but Bayley managed to escape. Shotzi's return marks her first appearance on WWE TV since June.

Raquel Rodriguez and Shotzi are teaming up as a tag team in WWE, with their alliance forming after Shotzi saved Rodriguez from a beatdown by heels Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville. They will be competing in a 4-way match for the vacant WWE Women’s Tag titles against Deville & Green, Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler, and Damage CTRL’s Bayley & IYO SKY. Money in the Bank qualifying matches will also begin on the May 29 Raw.

Injured Ronda Rousey made a brief appearance at WrestleMania 39's Women's Showcase Match, tagging in to get a quick tapout from Shotzi with an armbar. Recovering from a fractured elbow, Rousey mostly stayed out of the fray and relied on her partner Shayna Baszler. With this win, Rousey moves closer to a WWE Women's Tag Team Championship title shot.
