10 Times NXT Was As Dumb As WWE's Main Roster
10. Shotzi Blackheart's Tank Is More Over Than Her
The high-energy Blackheart introduced her tank to NXT on a January 2020 episode of NXT. It proved to be one helluva crowd and Twitter popper and had it just stayed as an entrance gimmick, it may have indeed remained "cool" enough to escape this list, but what happened afterwards taints the spectacle of the punk rocker driving a miniature war machine.
In May last year, NXT released "special look at Shotzi Blackheart", a video purposed to give background to the superstar but ran dry in its "AREN'T TANKS GREAT? Also my dad was cool... But TANKS THOUGH?!" presentation. In her program with Aaliyah and Robert "Definitely Not Tony Khan" Stone, Blackheart would repeatedly and comically run over Stone, and then in her subsequent feud with Candice LeRae, LeRae destroyed Blackheart's beloved tank, who responded with more emotion than Big Show when Big Boss Man stole his dead dad.
Shotzi would get a new tank for TakeOver: WarGames, almost building it up to be the fifth member of her War Games team, the added "charm" this time is that it can shoot "rockets", scaring the kiwi out of Dakota Kai and more recently, turning Austin Theory into a Ken doll.
