Shotzi Blackheart

Ashley Louise Alfaro (née Urbanski; born March 14, 1992), better known by the ring name Shotzi Blackheart, is an American professional wrestler. She is signed to Major League Wrestling (MLW), where she is the current MLW World Women's Featherweight Champion in her first reign. She also performs on the independent circuit. She is best known for her tenure in WWE, where she performed under the ring name Shotzi and is a former one-time NXT Women's Tag Team Champion.

Prior to joining WWE, Alfaro performed for various promotions on the independent circuit, such as Shimmer Women Athletes, Evolve, Rise Wrestling, and Shine Wrestling, where she won the Shine Nova Championship.

Ashley Louise Urbanski was born on March 14, 1992, in Santa Clara County, California. She is of Filipino descent. At age seven, she began doing musical theatre which she would continue into college.

Urbanski began her career at Hoodslam in Oakland, California in 2014 as Missy Highasshit, a cheerleader valet for the Stoner Brothers and stable Stoner U (a comedic parody of Missy Hyatt and the Steiner Brothers). She also frequently appeared on the California independent circuit, wrestling for All Pro Wrestling, Bar Wrestling, and Big Time Wrestling, as well as Nashville, Tennessee promotion Impact Wrestling.[citation needed]

Urbanski made her debut for Shimmer Women Athletes on November 11, 2016, in a loss to Melanie Cruise. She made her Evolve debut at Evolve 115 on November 9, 2018, under the ring name Shotzi Blackheart (the last name being a reference to American rock singer Joan Jett, of whom Urbanski is a fan), challenging Allysin Kay for the Shine Championship in a losing effort. Blackheart also competed for Shine Wrestling,[citation needed] and at Shine 58 on May 10, 2019, Blackheart defeated Aja Perera to win the Shine Nova Championship. At Shine 59 on June 29, she retained the title in a triple threat match involving Perera and Santana Garrett. Blackheart successfully defended the title against Natalia Markova at Shine 60.

At Evolve 137 on October 11, 2019, after defeating Perera, William Regal, who at that time was working for WWE's developmental brand NXT, offered Blackheart a WWE contract during an unannounced appearance, and due to this, she had to vacate the Shine Nova Championship.

In 2015, Urbanski took part in the trials for the sixth season of WWE's competition Tough Enough. She was initially selected as one of 6 women who would take part in that season's competition, but had to withdraw from it before it began, due to a previously undiagnosed irregular heartbeat causing a failed medical. She had a tryout for WWE Performance Center in May 2016.

In October 2019, Urbanski signed with WWE and reported to the WWE Performance Center. She then joined the company in November 2019. She made her debut on an NXT house show on December 5, 2019, losing to Chelsea Green. She made her televised debut on the December 25 episode of NXT as a face, still under her independent ring name Shotzi Blackheart in a loss to Bianca Belair. At the Royal Rumble on January 26, 2020, Blackheart entered her first Royal Rumble match at #26 before being eliminated by Baszler. On the June 17 episode of NXT, Blackheart and Tegan Nox challenged Bayley and Sasha Banks for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, which they were unsuccessful in winning.
