WWE Star Shotzi Wrestles in Her Wedding Dress After ‘Very Spontaneous’ Las Vegas Elopement: ‘What a Wild Night!’ – PEOPLE

WWE star Shotzi went straight from the wedding chapel to the wrestling ring!

The professional wrestler, 31, revealed on Instagram that she tied the knot with boyfriend Jesus Alfaro in Las Vegas on Friday, right before she was set to perform at the WWELiveHoliday Tour at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Since the show must go on, she arrived at the venue and battled it out in the ring still wearing her wedding dress and veil.

Shotzi (whose real name is Ashley Louise Urbanski) explained the wild sequence of events in a series of posts documenting her whirlwind wedding day.

"JUST MARRIED! When I realized I would be performing in Vegas, we decided to elope before the show," she wrote in the first post, alongside photos of herself and her new husband sporting matching "Just Married" leather jackets and showing off their rings.

"It was very spontaneous and so perfectly us. I loved every second of it. Ill post something a little mushier later, but its now time for an action-packed reception!" she continued, referring to the WWE event.

Her next post a collaboration with WWE featured a video of the newlyweds savoring the happy moment after their impromptu nuptials at the Little White Chapel Tunnel of Love.

"It was perfect! Elvis was amazing!" she gushed to Alfaro, before glancing at her phone and exclaiming, "Oh, I'm going to be late for the show. We've gotta go!"

WWE captioned the video, "Congrats @shotziwwe! She got married AND still made it in time for the show ."

Shotzi followed up with a video capturing her running into the wrestling arena in her wedding dress and carrying her bouquet, before giving Alfaro a passionate kiss. She then climbed up onto the ring ropes and triumphantly put her arms up in the air as the crowd cheered.

Then it was time for the bride to get down to business. Another video showed Shotzi taking on several other female wrestlers in the ring, and as it turned out, her bridal attire didn't crimp her style at all. In fact, at one point in the action, she tore off her veil and began swatting her opponent with it.

"What a wild night!" she wrote in the caption.
