Natalia Markova Shows Off Battle Wounds After Brutal Cage Match at NWA Event

Natalia Markova isn’t holding anything back in her mission to dominate professional wrestling.

The NWA standout took to Instagram to share a photo of herself battered and bruised following a brutal cage match against Tiffany Nieves at the recent NWA Looks That Kill event. Sporting a bloody wound and a blackened eye, Markova gave fans a raw look at the aftermath of her hard-fought battle.

“Cage matches are no joke! 💀 Thanks to everybody who came to the @nwa Looks That Kill! ❤️ Such an awesome crowd!!! 🔥 We’ll be back to Dothan, Al March 22nd! Tickets are available now at NWALiveEvents.com,” Markova wrote,

Natalia’s post confirmed that NWA will return to Dothan, Alabama, next year, as the promotion gears up for another round of action.

This isn’t the first time Markova has proven she’s more than willing to put her body on the line for the fans. Earlier this year, she signed a multi-year deal with the NWA and has since been carving out her place as one of the most exciting competitors in the company. Beyond the ring, Markova made headlines when she joined Billy Corgan on the Smashing Pumpkins’ Australian tour, showing she’s just as much a star outside the squared circle.

Markova’s year has been filled with championship gold, as she captured the Dogg Pound Championship Wrestling Women’s Title in February and added the Midwest All-Star Wrestling Women’s Championship to her resume in April. Now, as 2025 approaches, fans are eager to see what’s next for the “Russian Crush.”
