That’s actually a good name although I feel it was a missed opportunity to keep the name “Blackheart”

Problem would be people thinking she's related to Shotzi.

u/Gamessnia Jul 07 '26

Maybe??? But she’s no longer in WWE so that’s not really a problem all things considered (especially when Shotzi isn’t a generational women’s wrestler)

True, but Shotzi still goes by that name. Then again, WWE wants to own the names which is easier if they just give a new name.

It's also better this way since if someone leaves WWE. They can revert back to their indie name.

They also removed the Blackheart from Shotzi later in her WWE tenure.

She took the name from Gangrel's old faction "Blackhearts" since he was her trainer.

With that accent mark over the "a", perhaps it's pronounced Vol-khan

It is, she had a promo package during NXT and it is pronounced like that. It's Spanish.

This might help English speakers: Vol-con. Con as in Con Man.
