Natalia Markova

Natalia Markova is a Russian professional wrestler currently signed to the NWA. She first began wrestling in Moscow, then expanded into the U.S. independent scene, and later became a centerpiece of the NWA women’s division. She debuted in January 2009 after training through the Independent Wrestling Federation (IWF) system in Russia, working that circuit for years before branching out internationally.

After establishing herself in the U.S., she worked prominent women’s promotions like SHINE, where she captured titles including the SHINE Nova Championship and later the SHINE Championship. Her run also included EVOLVE appearances and a short set of AEW Dark matches in 2021, which put her in front of a wider audience.

In the NWA, Markova’s profile grew steadily until she reached the top of the division, defeating Kenzie Paige on August 16, 2025, to win the NWA World Women’s Championship.

During the same time, she has also held the CEP Women’s Champion in Championship Entertainment Productions, won the Jericho Cruise Women’s Oceanic Championship, and the Fight the World Wrestling (FTW) Women’s Championship, showing how frequently she works across multiple cards while holding major singles gold.
