Natalya, a WWE veteran for 18 years, is finally making her debut in NWA.
The 2025 Crockett Cup Tournament will be held this year at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena on May 17th.
Natalya will compete inside an NWA ring for the first time at the event.
“We are so pleased and proud that Natalya will be making her NWA debut on May 17 in Philly,” stated William Patrick Corgan, NWA President, “and our eternal thanks to WWE for their support on this historic night.”
“Fans will have the opportunity to witness history as we crown new Crockett Cup winners. This is the first time during the Lightning One Era that a WWE Superstar has stepped into the ring with our NWA talent,” said Joe Galli, NWA’s Chief Operations Officer.
The 2025 Crockett Cup will be a one-night event, filmed for inclusion in future episodes of NWA Powerrr. This weekly flagship broadcast is available worldwide each Tuesday at 6:05 PM EST on the National Wrestling Alliance X (formerly Twitter).
The Crockett Cup was established in 1986 with legendary duos such as The Road Warriors, Dusty Rhodes & Nikita Koloff, Sting & Lex Luger and reigning NWA World Tag Team Champions Knox & Murdoch winning the iconic tournament. In 2024, the Southern Six — Kerry Morton and NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Alex Taylor — emerged as champions.
