**CWL Exclusive Interview here:**

## Upbringing and Early Career

Born to a Spanish/East European father and Ukrainian mother, she spent her early years in Ukraine and traveling with her family throughout Europe. Between growing up with two older brothers, and being subjected to a rough upbringing on the streets of Ukraine, Natalia learned at a young age the need to defend herself. She would learn martial arts at a young age from her father, to help hone her ability to strike hard and fast against aggressors.

By the age of ten, her family found its way to the US. Natalia learning most of her English off of American television, and close work with her father, to catch up to American school curriculum. She would spend her teen years joining any coed school or local sponsored Karate, Judo, and wrestling based programs.

By the time she was eighteen, she signed on with small label wrestling federation in Minnesota, while attending the University of Minnesota to get her business degree. This combined with entering various sponsored martial arts tournaments like Diamond Nationals, eventually led her to a side career in MMA, years later.

## Previous Wrestling Promotion and Faction Notoriety

**PAST FEDERATION WORK**

Over the past 22 years, Natalia has participated or was on the main roster for over 40 wrestling federations. Holding 39 major titles, some multiple times, not including minor titles that are undocumented. These include long time, respected brands such as FWE, WWA, GCW, TFW, SCW and UFN (for MMA) where she is still known to frequent.

**NATALIA'S BOOTYFIED SALON**

In her later years, Natalia took a few year hiatus to start a family. In her free time starting her own business, focused on improving body positivity and mental health for wrestlers, called Natalia's Bootyfied Salon. Since early 2019, Natalia has now crafted over 200 attires for women in wrestling, given facelifts and even body sculpting. Her mission, to elevate Women's wrestling with appearances that help outshine the men, as well as advocating for more equality in booking the the industry as a whole.

**AFK AND THE SALON**

In April of 2019, Natalia would return to wrestling, starting her own Women's federation called All Female Kombat (AFK). Running for the past two years with her co-founder and close friend, Lynn/Akicita. They would go on to create the first tag team in Natalia's return to the ring, Call of the Tribe, with Natalia's heel self, Katya! She would eventually give her co-founder and President the reigns for AFK, to allow Natalia to enter other federations as a competitor once again.

During mid 2019, the birth of the tag team simply called, The Salon is born. As Natalia and her long time, loyal friend, LilTinyChan hit both FWE and AFK. Taking in multiple tag title reigns, the tag duo would gain notoriety, and expand The Salon to a true faction by end of 2019. Adding the likes of her co-founder, Lynn and Lauren Brooks.

**BIRTH OF VANITY!**

In 2020, the faction rebranded to a more focused approach with their goals, and Vanity! was born. The faction would again grow, adding LethalLexa and AJ Striker, expanding into yet another federation, TFW. The goal of the women, to take on any self serving female, that held back the other women from achieving their shot in the limelight. Targeting women, like a vigilante group, knocking out arrogant champions. Then immediately surrendering the gained titles back to the women's division. Usually with stipulations of only allowing women to compete to be the next champion, if they hadn't held the title before.

This approach causing major disruptions, due to the unorthodox plays. Fans and even male wrestlers up in arms about how they felt the value of the titles would be cheapened. The result in places like FWE were that titles like the tag championship brought an influx of new women talent, and fostered a new era of women's tag teams to the brand. Encouraging talent to come compete in the highly competitive division.

Natalia then set her eyes on a well known brand, called the CWL. But that...is another story...

## CWL (December 2020 - present)

**ROAD TO TITLE REIGN**

Coming in a quarter way into the season, Natalia started off with a 3-1 record. Heading into the 6 Way Elimination match, with the winner qualifying for a the Triple Threat championship match.

During the match, Natalia would go on to pin Queen Brigit, and get a submission from Aine Rose, Toksyn, and finally Liza Horror. Eliminating all but one of the contenders in the match.

The following week, the Queen of Genesis Triple Threat was a chaotic fight of back and forth action from Toksyn, Natalia, and the champion, Rayo De Oro. The double teaming and ambushing went on for several minutes. Each woman nearly pinning the other with 2 counts. Natalia getting off a Zatyshok finisher, to force Toksyn into submission. Rayo De Oro and Natalia then battled back and forth for several minutes, inside and outside the ring. Natalia finally locking Rayo De Oro into the Total Vanity!, submitting her to win the Queen of Genesis title, for the first time.

Natalia would then go onto defending against Liza Horror in episode 21, before Liza would move onto Nemesis. Ending the tie breaker with the first woman that Natalia lost to in Genesis.

She also would lose her 2nd match, on Genesis 20, being pinned by Rachel Lochlan on an off week. Starting a multi week rivalry between the two, ultimately leading to a 2nd title defense three episodes later, on Genesis 23. Not before the GM came up with a devious plot on Genesis 22. Forcing Rachel and Natalia into a tag match against the likes of Jessie Anderson and Hannah Star.

**RISE OF VANITY!**

This match on Genesis 22 became a pivot point in Natalia's time in CWL. Natalia and Rachel showed incredible chemistry, pulling out tag moves left and right. Literally standing on each other's shoulders, and helping the other come crashing down onto their competitors. The match would end with Natalia locking Hannah into the Zatyshok, while Jessie looked on from the corner, as her teammate submits.

Jessie Anderson would then proceed to publicly shame Hannah Star, blaming Hannah for the losing streak of the tag duo. It escalated to the point where she challenged her sister, Hannah, to a loser retires match. Natalia watching it all unfold, listening to the news wires and fan outcries, as the situation rose to what was labeled as bullying, in the media. She finally broke her silence on the situation, and the Jessie Anderson and Natalia rivalry took hold.

Meanwhile, Rachel Lochlan and Natalia would have two straight weeks of back room talks about burying the hatchet. Natalia offering to bring her Vanity! franchise to CWL, binding Rachel and Natalia into the start of the vigilante faction in Genesis. It was revealed on episode 24, one episode after Natalia would defend the title, submitting Rachel during episode 23.

Natalia stood at ringside with her new faction-mate, during episode 24, as Rachel made quick work of Queen Brigit. Rolling her up for a pin win. Yet...Brigit wasn't having it, running after Rachel and tossing her back into the ring, post-match. This would begin the long standing rivalry with the Voodoo woman's faction and Vanity!

Natalia would then go onto defending against Yaina of Sparta in episode 25 of Genesis. All the while, Jessie and Natalia are building up their feud. The two battling over social media and backstage recordings, as their principles clash around the handling of the Hannah Star shaming and divestiture from Genesis.

Episodes 27 and 28 would be home to back to back title defenses of the Women's title. Jessie losing via pinfall to Natalia, in episode 27, claiming she deserved another shot. Natalia wanting to prove a point, with Jessie. Demanding an apology for Hannah, or she would choke it out of her. Jessie would accept a stipulation in the steel cage. The belt being put up again, with the caveat being that a loss would permanently ban Jessie from competing for the belt, while Natalia held it. The match was gritty, ending in Jessie submitting to the Zatyshok...but the story would take an interesting turn several episodes later.

The following week, Natalia would go onto defend the title for the 3rd week in a row. Queen Brigit demanding to be made whole, challenging the leader of Vanity!, after her claim of being robbed by Rachel Lochlan weeks before. The match ending with Queen Brigit tapping out to the Total Vanity! Further igniting the future back and forth the two factions would have.

**END OF A REIGN, OR WAS IT?**

Two episodes later, after some build up, Kumiyo Ishimoto would finally halt Natalia's 91 day reign. This would be marked as the longest reign to this point in Genesis. Genesis 31 would end with Kumiyo pinning Natalia, after resisting both the Total Vanity! and Zatyshok. This would result in the two having discussions about vetting Kumiyo for Vanity!, as the former champion respected the woman's prowess.

The next week, however, the former champ would take issue with the several minute double teaming in Kumiyo's corner. As Vanity! would face off against Kumiyo and Bayamya. The match would end with Bayamya tapping out to the Zatyshok. This would turn the episode 33, rematch clause title match, into a grudge match. Natalia would go on to submit Kumiyo with the Zatyshok. Winning back the Queen of Genesis title, and becoming the first two time champion for either gender in the brand.

The next chapter in the Jessie Anderson and Hannah Star, as Hannah would come back from retirement. Spouting that Natalia overstepped and shouldn't have spoken for her. Natalia and Hannah would go back and forth for a time on social media and on CWL promotions. Butting heads on principles. Hannah asking for an apology for Natalia speaking for her. While Natalia stuck to her narrative that the situation needed a third party to call out an anti-bullying sentiment, for the younger viewers and hopefuls.

The two finally clashing In episode 34. Hannah wanting a title shot if she wins, and an apology. Natalia granting the match and stipulation. The two battling it out inside and outside the ring for four straight minutes. Hannah ending up submitting to the Zatyshok, as her sister did, six episodes earlier. Ultimately ending the eight week long story line.

Natalia would then go on to defend her title against a superstar on a win streak, Bayamya. Successfully defending with her Zatyshok submission, midway through Genesis episode 35.

Wanting to find a worthy individual for her next defense. Natalia offered up tens of thousands of dollars for charity, to any three women that would join her in episode 36. The match being an elimination 4 Way. Match stipulations in place for anyone getting an elimination, resulting in donations to each woman's chosen underfunded, inner city school of choice, Winner getting a title shot or Natalia getting to choose the contender. The match resulted in Natalia submitting Marcella Reyes, Santa Muerte and Kumiyo Ishimoto. Natalia still honoring her donations to all three women's schools of choice, and picking Marcella for episode 37's Falls Count Anywhere, Ironwoman match.

During the final match of episode 37, Marcella would prove formidable in the Iron Woman match. Natalia would take the lead, going up 1 - 3. Marcella would quickly tie the match at 3 - 3, minutes later. The two would then go back and forth, staying a point away from each other. Becoming tied at 5 - 5 with the final minutes left. The two finally ending the chaotic match scoring three more points between them, resulting in a 6 - 8 final score. The crowd applauding both women for an outstanding match!

In episodes 38 and 39 of Genesis, Natalia would commit to spotlighting other women in the division. Challenging Flintlock Garcia and then Povi Song. Both matches would be filled with back and forth action, showcasing the talents of both women, and even giving Povi her first Main Event match in Genesis. Holding their own against Natalia the entire match, arguably the matches having the ability to go either way. Natalia would submit the two women, giving them the respect and acknowledgement that they deserve for their prowess. Natalia during episode 39 getting to see Marcella achieve her first win, cheering her on from backstage, after an incredible match 2 weeks prior with the woman.

At the season ending PPV, All Due Respect, Natalia would face off against Alisha Evans for the championship. Natalia would dominate the entire match, keeping Alisha on her heels. Neither woman getting a finisher or signature off for several minutes. Alisha would end up getting her signature neck breaker, pinning Natalia and dethroning that long standing champion to end the season and episode 40's main event.

**SEASON TWO BEGINS, AS DARKNESS RISES OVER CWL**

Zoe Raven would start the season off, making it a point to come after Vanity!. Specifically, Natalia. Working with Santa Muerte and the now Mother Brigitte, the three women would start to form an alliance of darkness. Natalia seeing the onset of what is to come, proactively challenges Santa Muerte week 1 of Genesis. The match ending with Santa Muerte submitting, in the first 1 on 1 battle against Natalia.

The 2nd week Zoe would challenge Natalia to a match. The two trading back and forth about the stipulations. The match ending up in a Falls Count Anywhere match, where no DQ's was snuck in by Zoe. Management ignoring Natalia's concern of the no DQ stipulation, and asking for it to be removed. The concern being around Zoe attempting to phone in her new faction mates, or to use underhanded play in lieu of sticking to an fair match. The two women would battle inside and outside of the ring, with no chances for Zoe to utilize the no DQ stipulation. Zoe would tap out to the Zatyshok in the end.

Moving into week 3, Natalia extended a challenge to Mother Brigitte. Giving her the recognition as a competitor and threat that Brigitte claimed she wasn't receiving respect for. The two would face off in a normal CWL match. The match going on for several minutes back and forth, finally resulting in Brigitte tapping out to the Zatyshok.

On Genesis 2.4, Natalia would find herself facing off against the interstellar visitor, Queen Tebrosh. Looking to see what the galaxy's best has to offer CWL. The two would have several minutes of back and forth, with Queen Tebrosh going on a streak for 2 straight minutes of assault on Natalia. The momentum suddenly shifted, with Natalia battling back with a streak of her own. Landing a Signature and two Finishers, ultimately tapping the galactic traveler with the Zatyshok to win this tense match-up. The week also would find itself in a heated social media battle between the current champion, Kumiyo and Natalia. Challenging each other's principles. Ultimately ending with BeBe Ka$h of Vanity! walking away with the belt, after a previous night win in the Hover special event, four way elimination match for #1 contender.

The weeks of Genesis 2.5 and 2.6, Natalia would challenge two strong women new to season 2. Charlie Miller, a fiercely competitive brawler, and Doom, a menacing super villain persona. The match versus Charlie would be a good back and forth, with neither women spending long having the momentum. After several minutes, Natalia would finally get on a final streak, ultimately tapping out Charlie in a strong showing by both women.

The match with Doom had some back and forth in the beginning of the match. Doom responding well with reversals and some offense of her own. The momentum never fully swung Doom's way, and the match would be a quicker one. Doom not being able to get in her groove, like in her past showings of super villain domination in CWL. Tapping out to Natalia's Zotyshok finisher.

Natalia had started to take Alisha Evans under her wing. Training for hours a week, to prepare her for the rest of the season. The two would train in all of the various aspects of Natalia's knowledge, finally coming to a test match to show Genesis what she had learned. It would be a match that had intensity, but would end with Alisha tapping out to the RoS. Nat and Alisha would then continue to train. Nat being there for Alisha at ringside for her next match.

During the week of Genesis 2.8, Natalia would travel to Japan for the cross promotion Open Weight championship against Valkyrie, Jada King, and Holly Queen. Natalia would hold her own for most of the match, but ultimately would be the first woman out of the four.

The following weeks Natalia would continue her journey to meet and face off against the new comers. Going up against Sonya Morgan and Amber Callaghan. Two great competitors. Sonya taking Natalia to the limit and Amber having a shorter match with Natalia. Natalia would take a few moments with Amber post match to give her some feedback help on the match, on how to break certain holds.

The week of Genesis 2.11 would be the last week before the Aftermath PPV, when the new era of Genesis rules get put into place. Natalia would face off in the main event, against her longest rival in Genesis. The amazing Mother Brigitte, and her endless mission to spread darkness across CWL.

**ROAD TO AFTERMATH SEASON 2**

During the 3 weeks leading up to Aftermath, Natalia would work with Charlie Miller. Helping her prepare for Aftermath, as she was winless and frustrated. The two would hit it off, and Natalia would then spend additional hours after working with Alisha Evans, helping with sparring and minor coaching of Charlie Miller. The two becoming close friends and division mates. Natalia waiting on pins and needles as Charlie would win 3 straight matches in a row, wondering who her new friend would challenge for the upcoming PPV.

Ultimately, the work with Charlie Miller would be a deception. All contrived by Zoe and Brigitte, using their dark arts to manipulate the unknowing Charlie to do their bidding. Charlie being unaware about the constructs and suggestion imparted on her, she really did have intention to do what it took to get herself on track in CWL. Unfortunately, it came at the cost of her kindness and genuine nature.

The situation would ultimately elevate during the week leading up to Aftermath. Charlie coming in to get some training with Natalia. Leading her to believe that she hadn't challenged her opponent, or selected her, for Aftermath. When in actuality, the ruse came in the form of an ambush after practice at the Vanity! gym. Charlie taking out Natalia, as a dark aura enveloped her being. Manifesting right in front of Natalia, as she coldly tosses a parchment challenge card at her feet. In it the true reality of what had been building. Natalia and all of Vanity! being challenged to a 3 on 3, Zoe, Brigitte and now unveiled Charlie against the three Vanity! members. Tag belts on the line...

At Aftermath, the match for the 3v3 of Vanity! vs. Darkness was intense. A tornado tag match, with the tag belts on the line. The match would start out in utter chaos, as the six women would pick their targets, each with their own grudges against the opposing three. The double teaming by both sides would go on for several minutes, as each team would randomly have a member roll to the mat below. Giving the other team the upper hand to hit an opponent from behind, or break up a pin or submission.

Natalia would finally face off against her new friend that she desperately wanted to free from the controlled clutches of Darkness. Finally getting her to tap out, so Natalia could safely remove Charlie from any further harm in the match, for her tough brawler of a friend. BeBe moments later would be toe to toe with Brigitte, as they finally came to a final reversal on Brigitte, BeBe calling her up for one final cutter and pin. Zoe finding herself alone against the three, but BeBe and Natalia would stay back and let Rachel have her 1:1 with one of the two main faces of Darkness. The match finally ending with Zoe in a finisher pin from Rachel. Vanity! being able to stave off another hard fought match from losing the belts.

Natalia hoping and praying, that this was enough to free Charlie from the enchantment held over her by Darkness...

Natalia and Mother Brigitte would have their final standoff, ending one of (if not) the longest rivalries amongst the active members on Genesis. Lasting 30 episodes. The match ending with Brigitte committing to leave Genesis if she loses the match to her long time rival. Natalia devastated after her win, knowing she would lose a respected competitor and friend, albeit the conflicting situation with Brigitte's Darkness faction. The two would say goodbye, the same way they met, in the ring...

Continuing with the crazy seaon, episode 2.14 would deliver PPV level booking on a regular week. Natalia would be placed in a surprise 5 way elimination, with four of the best talents in Genesis. Sonya Morgan, Zoe Raven, Bayamya, and the title holder, Ace Jade. The match would be utter chaos for several minutes. Natalia finally finding her momentum, pinning Zoe, Bayamya, and finally Ace Jade at the matches end. Natalia becoming the first three time Genesis champion.

The following week Natalia would commit to putting the belt up every week to new women, until she loses it. Starting first by giving Bayamya her solo shot for the title, since it was turned i to a 5 way the week before. The match being a close match with Natalia barely getting out with a win.

The next week giving a shot to FlowMaster, a new talent claiming to put the whole division through its paces. Again, another match with the contender barely losing, after giving Natalia a run for her money on episode 2.16.

The next two weeks would be the climatic finale to the Vanity! vs. Darkness story. Natalia would confront Charlie after seeing her walk the halls. Begging for answers from her new friend, now turned toward Darkness by Zoe and Brigitte's spell. The two would end up in a knock out, drag em out backstage fight. Charlie igniting the darkness in her, demolishing Natalia and leaving her unconscious on the now collapsed roof of a car in the garage.

This event triggering Natalia to challenge Charlie that next week on Genesis. Using the belt to lure Charlie out on a last effort to break her free of the Darkness' hold on her. This time by force... The two women would lock arms in a fierce match, that afterward, Charlie having lost, spouting absolute malice at Natalia, who failed to break the spell. They would travel throughout the arena to the backstage.

Charlie getting away and barring the door with a broom. Natalia would break through only to receive a chair to the head. Trading blows and ending with Natalia choking Charlie out with the Total Vanity!, triggering a series of mental events in Charlie's head. Freeing her from the spell. All the while Zoe looking on from a great distance, feeling the spell break. Convening with Brigitte about the change of situation.

Zoe would come right after Natalia, that following week. Demanding Natalia put the title on the line, to remove it in a final effort from Vanity!. Zoe furious with Natalia for spoiling her plans, and Natalia irrate at Zoe's dismissiveness with her treatment of Charlie. The two would meet with rage and vengeance in their heart. Natalia would come out the victor, leaving an open question... What would happen next of the mysterious and deadly presence of Darkness within CWL...?

In the coming weeks of 2.19 to 2.21, Natalia would continue putting up the belt against the likes of Courtney, Hisano, Stephanie Danger, and the mystery entrant, Pinball Witch. Continuing to push the division and the belt to go up against a new woman every week. Courtney nearly defeating Natalia in their match, as well as Hisano in the PPV One Last Fight. Both matches displaying strong back and forth action. During the week of 2.21, the title defense would be a triple threat, welcoming back the long time veteran, Pinball Witch, to challenge alongside the newer talent, Stephanie Danger. Natalia pinning Pinball Witch earlier on, to single out Stephanie for a 1 on 1 battle, per the initial challenge.
