WWE announced that Scarlett Bordeaux (Elizabeth Chihaia), Shotzi Blackheart (Ashley Urbanski), and Indi Hartwell, and referee Stephon Smith have started training at the WWE Performance Center.
Powell’s POV: Bordeaux stood out in a major way during her Impact Wrestling run. I especially enjoyed her early heel work as a Diva in a modern woman’s world. Blackheart had a standout performance on the Evolve 131 event that aired on WWE Network. She was also involved with WWE Tough Enough, but she was pulled from the series after medical testing revealed an irregular heartbeat. Hartwell is an Australian independent wrestler who over three years of in-ring experience.

Hopefully Scarlett makes tv quickly, and is utilized correctly. She’s a star. She’s more well-rounded than half the women on RAW or Smackdown now.
What? She’s a good valet but has nothing to offer in the ring. Maybe she’ll get better on that front, but right now she’s Mandy Rose with a fatter backside.
She can do the Canadian Destroyer… She’s way more than just a valet. I’ve seen her wrestle plenty. She’s way better on the mic than a lot of the main roster women are, too.
