NATALIA MARKOVA: Ready to ‘Crush’ the Competition?

Natalia Markova has been on a tear!

Since arriving in the National Wrestling Alliance, the Russian-born grappler has amassed one of the women’s division’s most impressive win/loss records. She’s notched impressive victories over Taya Valkyrie, JennaCide and many more of wrestling’s top names.

Markova even survived a vicious feud with Max The Impaler. Despite coming up on the short end of their “VooDoo Queen Casket Match,” she gave “The Non-Binary Nightmare” all they could handle in a Hard Times 3 pay-per-view instant classic.

One thing she has not done, however, is win NWA gold. Her recent time-limit draw against NWA Women’s World Champion Kamille, though, indicates she absolutely can stand toe-to-toe with “The Brickhouse.” Could Markova be the one to finally unseat “The One Time” champion?

Only time will tell whether championship gold — or what appears to be a budding relationship with Mercurio as the tandem “Looks That Kill” — becomes her priority. It’s safe to assume though, whether it’s bones or hearts, the decision of which to break first is entirely up to “The Crush.”
