Pro wrestling fans are hyped for Natalya’s wrestling world tour. The BOAT has been announced for multiple non-WWE appearances with NWA Crockett Cup and Bloodsport XIII among her scheduled destinations. WWE’s Creed Brothers, Shayna Baszler, Karmen Petrovic, and Charlie Dempsey have previously appeared at Josh Barnett’s event.
The NWA and Barnett haven’t announced Natalya’s opponent for these events at the time of this writing. So, naturally, it leads to wrestling fans like this writer to flex our brain muscles and do some fantasy booking for Natalya’s wrestling world tour before we get some sort of confirmation on her opponents.
Let’s begin!
Jordynne Grace
Jordynne Grace shocked the WWE Universe when she busted through the Forbidden Door at the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble. She would make several appearances for WWE NXT as the then-reigning Knockouts Champion before officially signing with WWE in 2025. She had a decent showing at this year’s Royal Rumble.
Jordynne is set to take on Roxanne Perez at NXT Roadblock next Tuesday. Ideally, Jordynne would go over in the upcoming singles match. WWE may not do Jordynne Grace versus Natalya one-on-one but The BOAT needs to cross paths with The Juggernaut in multi-woman outing now – preferably in an NXT ring.
Nattie has been in NXT before, but this is one matchup that fans have wanted since Grace was rising through the ranks in TNA.
Natalia Markova needs to appear on Natalya’s Wrestling World Tour
Most WWE fans may not be familiar with Natalia Markova, but she’s a big name on the independents. The Russian superstar primarily wrestles for the NWA. She has also made appearances for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, DDT Pro-Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling.
Natalia remains arguably NWA’s most consistent competitor. She became the promotion’s inaugural Queen Bee at NWA 74 in 2022. With Natalya already announced for the upcoming Crockett Cup, fans shouldn’t be surprised if NWA promoter Billy Corgan handpicks Natalia to face Nattie Neidhart.
Masha Slamovich
The WWE NXT-TNA partnership is in full swing. We’ve already seen multiple superstars from both companies appear on each other’s shows. The upcoming NXT Roadblock special will feature superstars from both brands in singles and tag team title matches. Speaking of title matches, TNA‘s Masha Slamovich is hoping to defend her title against the likes of Natalya, Meiko Satomura and Shayna Baszler.
The sentiment was reciprocated by Natalya in a recent interview. Not only did Nattie call out Masha for a title match, she invited the TNA superstar to a training session at Hart Family’s famed Dungeon. This writer would personally love to see Masha Slamovich defend her Knockouts Championship during Natalya’s wrestling world tour.
Kamille
Kamille’s AEW run was disappointing, to say the least. She debuted as Mercedes Moné’s insurance policy. The run saw an abrupt end after Kamille walked out on The CEO on an episode of AEW Dynamite about three months ago. On the bright side, fans can check out the longest reigning NWA Women’s Champion in the upcoming Queen of the Ring.
Kamille is excited to show off her promo skills in the Mildred Burke biopic. This writer has been a fan of Kamille since her Strictly Business days in the NWA. Kamille has been tightlipped about her in-ring future. That said, a match against Natalya would definitely make for some great in-ring return. Now only if the powers that be can make it happen.
Tessa Blanchard should wrestle on Natalya’s Wrestling World Tour
Tessa Blanchard seems to have left controversy behind her (although the fans won’t let her forget about it). The former TNA World Champion made her in-ring return to the company at TNA Genesis. Her performance at the PPV event garnered her lavish praise from Bully Ray, who compared her to former 14-time world champion Charlotte Flair.
Tessa’s in-ring abilities are second to none, no doubt. She’s been a part of some of the best TNA matches. It’s only fair that Tessa gets to jump on Natalya’s wrestling world tour for some technical masterclass against the veteran.
