Natalya is one of the most respected veterans in WWE’s women’s division and that’s why it’s no surprise she has now been chosen to challenge for the NWA Women’s World Title at the 2025 Crockett Cup.
The NWA took to Twitter and announced a major match for the 2025 Crockett Cup, set to take place on Saturday, May 17th at the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. In a surprising crossover, NWA Women’s World Champion Kenzie Paige will defend her title against Natalya.
This is a huge announcement from NWA considering the fact that Natalya will be challenging Kenzie Page for such a prestigious title in what will be her NWA debut. Not just that, NWA’s President Billy Corgan revealed his pride in hosting the Crockett Cup and having someone like Natalya at the event, which is most definitely a big deal.
“CEO William Patrick Corgan ( @Billy ) has made the call: at Crockett Cup 2025 in Philadelphia, it will be NWA Women’s World Champion Kenzie Paige ( @KenziePaige_1 ) vs WWE ( @WWE ) Superstar Natalya ( @NatbyNature ) for the Burke!
‘It’s always our distinct honor to host this modern version of the Crockett Cup, but holding the event in this great and historic building in Philadelphia, with the addition of a WWE Superstar such as Natalya, in an NWA title match no less, shows how far we have come.’ – William Patrick Corgan, NWA President”
This announcement comes after Natalya had an incredible match against Miyu Yamashita at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIII event last week, where she showed the world what she is made of.
Now that she’s set her sights on the NWA Women’s World Title, Natalya is ready to make history once again, showing that her name’s still growing, since she’s obviously determined to make an impact in the NWA. Therefore, we’ll have to see if she will end up winning the NWA Women’s Championship.
