American Ninja Warrior 4[]
Shahboz made her debut in the Southeast Qualifying of American Ninja Warrior 4, along with her husband Marc. She failed the Swing Circle after getting a bad bounce off the trampoline.
She later received a wildcard for Vegas. She cleared the Step Slider, but failed at the end of the Rolling Log in Stage One.
American Ninja Warrior 5[]
Shahboz competed in Miami in American Ninja Warrior 5. Her husband did not compete in this tournament. She failed the Monkey Peg, the fifth obstacle, in qualifying.
She once again received a wildcard. She was able to complete the new Giant Cycle that had been so difficult for the female competitors. However, she failed the Jumping Spider after hitting the front of the trampoline and getting a small bounce causing her to faceplant into the water.
American Ninja Warrior 6[]
Shahboz competed once again in Miami in American Ninja Warrior 6. She was determined to join Kacy Catanzaro and Michelle Warnky on top of the Warped Wall. Unfortunately, she failed the Curtain Slider in qualifying, and for the first time, she did not receive a wildcard for Vegas.
American Ninja Warrior 7[]
Shahboz returned in American Ninja Warrior 7, though her run was cut from the broadcast. She was one of the many to fail the Paddle Boards in Orlando qualifying.
Team Ninja Warrior[]
Shahboz competed in the first rendition of Team Ninja Warrior, in Heat 1. She initially lost to her opponent, Jessie Graff of G-Force, in the first round, but in her second round, despite it being digested, both her & her opponent, Caitlin Shukwit of the Average JoJo's, fell at the Swing Jump, but since Shahboz reached it first, that meant she got the point for Team TNT. Her team then advanced to the finals, with her initially losing to Team Ronin's Tiana Webberley in Round One, and then in Round Two losing to Team Midoriyama's Meagan Martin. Despite this, her team ended up the runners-up that season to the winners, Party Time.
She didn't compete in American Ninja Warrior 8 and American Ninja Warrior 9 due to having shoulder surgery.
