NWA Women’s Champion Kenzie Paige defeats Natalya at Crockett Cup 2025

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Natalya was unsuccessful at the Crockett Cup.

During Saturday’s taping of the event, the WWE star lost to Kenzie Paige in a match that was for Paige’s NWA Women’s Championship. The match will air on a future edition of NWA Powerr.

Similar to her appearance at Bloodsport during WrestleMania weekend, she came to the ring to Rage Against The Machine’s ‘Killing in the Name’, going by the name ‘Nattie Neidhart’.

After the match, someone at the tapings captured footage of Natalya attacking what appeared to be a fan at ringside.

Natalya has spent the last couple of months making non-WWE appearances. At Bloodsport, she defeated Miyu Yamashita. After the match, she was attacked in the crowd by Paige, continuing their feud headed into the Crockett Cup.

Gail Kim was originally set to referee the match, but pulled out due to an illness.

Signing a new WWE contract last year, Natalya has made infrequent appearances on Raw in 2025. After failing to advance in the Women’s Intercontinental title tournament, in recent weeks she has been shown forming an alliance with Maxxine Dupri.

Kamille wants to break June Byers’ 760-day NWA Women’s title reign

Posted on by Denise Salcedo

On June 6, 2022, Kamille defeated Serena Deeb for the NWA Women’s Championship, ending her reign of 222 days.

Since then, she has held onto the gold for well over 700 days, successfully defending against the likes of Chelsea Green, Leyla Hirsch, Melina, Kylie Rae, KiLynn King, Taya Valkyrie, and others with 36 defenses.

Her last came at last weekend’s Crockett Cup when she bested Natalia Markova.

I recently caught up with Kamille for a conversation about her career and her historic reign as champion which you can watch on YouTube above.

Here are some highlights:

When she won the championship, Kamille had only been with the NWA for a short time and wrestled just a couple of matches. However, when she won the belt, she had secretly hoped that she would hold onto it for a year – a personal goal that she didn’t tell anyone about. Then when she surpassed the first year, she did not see an end in sight.

Now, she has a new goal in mind: to surpass June Byers’ 760-day title reign.

“…That will put me in the top five all-time NWA Women’s Championship reigns. It’s crazy to think about,” she said. 

Saying that she was only used to having squash matches, she knew her style had to change and that once she won the title, she had to run with it, “and either I am gonna slip and drop the ball or I am gonna keep carrying it and that’s what I’ve been doing.” 

While she considers herself still new to the business, her success as NWA Women’s Champion has all come to down to confidence. 

“I am not saying I am a veteran by any means. I am still very new to the business. But when I first started, I felt like I needed help being carried through a match, stuff like that. Now, I am at the point where I can carry others through a match, I can be that person. I can be the leader in the ring. Being able to transform in that way has been really cool.”

NWA notes: Empower returning ‘very soon,’ Women’s title match set for Hard Times

Posted on by Bryan Rose

NWA Power had news both regarding the next challenger for the NWA Women’s Championship and news regarding the next NWA Empower.

Tuesday’s show had NWA owner Billy Corgan discuss the success of NWA 74, saying that he hopes to keep the NWA rolling so that they reach their 100th anniversary. He also brought up that Kamille had two of the best matches at NWA 74. He concluded the topic by saying that they will do another NWA Empower “very soon”.

Meanwhile, the NWA Women’s Championship match has been set for Hard Times, which will take place on November 12 in Chalmette, Louisiana. Taya Valkyrie earned a shot at Kamille’s championship after defeating Chelsea Green, KiLynn King, and Jennacide in a number one contender’s match. Kamille and Valkyrie previously met at NWA 74 last month, with Kamille successfully retaining the championship.

Kamille also wrestled on Tuesday’s NWA Power, going to a time limit draw with Allysin Kay.

Kamille wins NWA Women’s title at When Our Shadows Fall

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Kamille is the new NWA Women’s champion.

She defeated Serena Deeb at the NWA’s When Our Shadows Fall event that took place this afternoon. In what turned out to be a back and forth contest, Kamille pinned Deeb following a spear to win the championship for the first time. This ends Deeb’s run with the title after holding it for 222 days, defeating Thunder Rosa at a UWN Primetime Live event back in October.

Deeb has defended the title multiple times on AEW television. Since returning from a knee injury, she’s retained the title against the likes of Red Velvet and Riho, with the latter title defense taking place at the AEW Double or Nothing buy-in pre show last weekend.

In the NWA, Thunder Rosa and Kamille have feuded over who would challenge Deeb next for the title. Kamille originally became the number one contender, but Rosa challenged her to a match where she would give up working for other companies if she lost again. That match ended in a draw, meaning Rosa could still wrestle in other places, but Kamille would still challenge for the title.
