Natalia Markova is getting ready to bring her Oceanic Women’s Championship back to the Jericho Cruise, and she decided to promote her upcoming title defense with a new beach photo. The reigning champion made it pretty clear she plans on showing up next month with the gold in hand.
Markova took to Twitter and uploaded a photo of herself posing at the beach in a blue and silver bikini while holding the Oceanic Women’s Championship. Alongside the photo, she confirmed she’ll be defending the title when the Jericho Cruise returns next month and encouraged fans to book their cabins.
“Are you coming on the @jericho_cruise? I’ll be defending my Oceanic Women’s Championship! Book the cabin now! 🌟”
Markova has held the title for well over a year at this point after making history during the Jericho Cruise in February 2025. She became the inaugural Oceanic Women’s Champion after winning a tournament held during the cruise.
Her road to the championship included victories over Alex Windsor on February 2 and Tasha Steelz on February 3. After winning the title, Markova celebrated becoming the first woman to hold the championship and immediately made it clear how much the accomplishment meant to her.
“What a pretty title! 💅 Fits me really well! 😜 Very proud to be The First Ever @jericho_cruise Oceanic Women’s Champion! 🌟 See you next year!!! I had so much fun on the cruise! Can’t wait to come back! Thanks @IAmJericho for making it happen! 💥”
Markova had already been stacking up championships before making history on the cruise. She captured the Dogg Pound Championship Wrestling Women’s Title in February 2024 before adding the Midwest All-Star Wrestling Women’s Championship that April.
Now she’s heading back to the Jericho Cruise as the woman everyone will be chasing. Markova hasn’t revealed who she’ll be defending the Oceanic Women’s Championship against yet, but she’s already making sure fans know the title will be on the line next month.
