Impact Wrestling Newcomer Shotzi Blackheart Breaks Her Ankle, Brooke Tessmacher Theme Song Released
- Last night's episode of Impact saw the debut of "The Ballsy Badass" Shotzi Blackheart, who faced Allie in her first match since losing the Knockouts Championship to Su Yung on the May 31 episode.
In a pre-match interview with Alicia Atout, Blackheart said "this mango is ready to tango" and that she's "ready to rock." She said Allie is her target and asked, "Who's your daddy?" Blackheart then ended the interview by howling like a wolf.
After Blackheart missed a top rope maneuver, Allie hit the Codebreaker for the win.
This match was taped on June 2 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Shotzi, who wrestles for RISE Wrestling and various other independent promotions, landed the opportunity after making a "tremendous impression" upon Impact Wrestling officials in May at both the "Lights, Camera, Action: The Art of TV" seminar and RISE ? ASCENT television tapings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Blackheart is currently out of action after breaking her ankle on July 6 during a match for Hoodslam in Oakland, California. Delilah Doom also broke her ankle, and RISE Wrestling said that both competitors will be out of action "for some time." Both Blackheart and Doom were slated to tour Japan this week for Stardom.
In an incredibly sad and upsetting turn of events, both @delilah_doom and @Shotziblack have suffered severe injuries that will keep them out of action for some time. NOTHING is more important to us than the well being of our talent. We love you girls and you have all our support.

- Impact Wrestling has added Brooke Tessmacher's theme song to their classic theme song collection on YouTube.

She officially left the promotion in November 2015, which she later revealed to be due to pregnancy.

In June 2017, Adams confirmed she's not under contract to Impact Wrestling and was unsure of a return. She is currently expecting a second child.
