Natalya Needard, who wrestled under a real name other than WWE, made her NWA debut at the Crockett Cup on May 17th, taking on Kensie Page at the NWA Women’s Championships.
The WWE Superstar hit the ring with her Anger towards the machine Theme, the same entrance music she used in Blood Sports before.
Despite bringing her experience to the match, Natalia was unable to abdicate Paige, who successfully held her title. Page’s victory solidified her reign as the NWA women’s champion, sending a strong message to the locker room that she wasn’t back down anytime soon.
But that wasn’t all the fans were talking about. Also, footage of Natalia going with Heckler in the crowd has appeared. In this video, Natalia attacks fans, smacks them across the face, trying to get more hits.
Gale Kim was originally set to act as a special guest umpire for the title match, marking her first post-TNA appearance since its release in March. However, hours before the event, Kim announced on Twitter that she was too sick to reach Philadelphia. “It’s a shame we have to announce that we won’t be able to reach the Crocket Cup in Philadelphia today.” Kim wrote. “I don’t want to disappoint the fans, and most of all, Nattie and Kenzie posted a cruise last Sunday and I’ve been off vigorously and suffering from severe flu/covid symptoms.”
Kim added that she is. “I’m still experiencing a high fever.” And there was no choice but to cancel her appearance.
Currently, Kim’s absence and Natalia’s loss leave questions about what’s next in the NWA women’s division and whether fans will see the look of another crossover from the WWE star.
