Natalia Markova Issues Warning to Shotzi Ahead of NWA Samhain Part 3

Natalia Markova has been on fire in 2025, and she’s not slowing down. With a massive match against Shotzi at NWA SAMHAIN Part 3 in Atlanta, Markova isn’t just showing confidence — she’s declaring herself the standard in women’s wrestling. The winner of their clash will become the new #1 contender for the NWA Women’s Championship, and Markova wants everyone to know she’s already prepared to take that spot.

In a video posted to NWA’s official Instagram, Markova directly addressed Shotzi and made it clear how much things have changed since the last time they crossed paths.

“Shotzi, it’s been a long time. Back then, you were already an established name — wild, fearless, making noise everywhere you went. And me? I was just getting started, fighting for every chance to prove I belong. But time changes everything. I’ve grown, evolved, and earned my spot among the best. I don’t chase anymore — I am the standard.”

Markova didn’t stop there. She went right after Shotzi’s trademark style, saying the tank, green hair, and fearless attitude won’t help her when it matters most.

“You can bring your tank, your green hair, and your attitude, but when the bell rings, none of that will save you. Because when you step in the ring with the Crush, you don’t face a gimmick — you face passion. This isn’t about the past, it’s about the present. October 17, Atlanta, NWA SAMHAIN Part 3 — Shotzi, get ready, because when you’re in the ring with me, you’ll know exactly why they call me the Crush.”

Markova versus Shotzi is set up to be one of the most talked-about matches of the year. Shotzi brings her chaotic, fearless style, while Markova is walking in laser-focused and determined to prove she’s surpassed her rival once and for all.
