As PWMania.com previously reported, Shotzi Blackheart tweeted a GIF that was spoofing the bump Chris Jericho took from the Blood and Guts cage match this past May.

Jericho responded to Shotzi’s GIF by stating the following during a live stream:
“There’s a couple of chicks in WWE who said some stuff and they should probably not have said that. They probably weren’t trained any better, and in 6 months they’ll probably be asking us for a job anyways and I’ll remember that, so we’ll leave it at that.”
In an interview with Alex McCarthy of TalkSport.com, Shotzi said the following about the spoof:
“I meant no offense to Chris Jericho. I thought, honestly, the match was great. But, you know what… like, take a joke, Take a joke, bud! [laughs]. It’s just a GIF,” she stated. “Laugh at it and move on. It’s live TV. Things happen, it’s pro wrestling. Don’t take life too seriously is all I have to say.”
In the interview, Shotzi also said that she found out about her main roster call-up on the same day that her and Tegan Nox debuted on Smackdown.
