Nattie Neidhart Details Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Reaction To Her Bloodsport Match Against Shayna Baszler

Steve Austin was excited after the bout.

Game Changer Wrestling and Josh Barnett came together to present the 15th installment of their joint Bloodsport event.

Among the matches on the billing was Nattie Neidhart versus Shayna Baszler. Neidhart won via countout in the eight-minute fight. After the show, Neidhart took to social media and shared a photo of herself and Stone Cold Steve Austin, who was in attendance at Bloodsport.

Nattie appeared on Busted Open and spoke about the high praise that Austin had for her. She went on to add that she’d like to fight NXT’s Jaida Parker.

“After the match, (Stone Cold) Steve Austin came backstage and he was trying to find me and Shayna (Baszler) and was like, ‘That was f*cking awesome.’ He’s like, ‘That was so gritty, that was so intense.’ He was like, ‘This is what I’m talking about when I’m saying I wanna see a grittier side of people’ and he’s like, ‘That was amazing.’ He’s like, ‘What next? What are you gonna do next? That was incredible.'” Neidhart then went on to speak about what’s next for her and said, “To me, it’s like, OK, yeah, I’m on Raw. That’s the brand that I’m on. But, I’m looking at women that can knock me on my ass because this new — I don’t know — mindset that I have, I don’t wanna just go in there and… yeah, I’d like to have really great matches but I need women that are gonna really, really challenge me and knock me on my ass and I think about some of the different women on the main roster. There’s quite a few that I would like to work with but… for example, Jaida Parker, NXT… She only probably reached half of her potential, if that. But I see her as somebody that I’m like, this girl can throw down. I’ve seen her in matches where I’m like, she is somebody that I kind of want to start a fight with. I want her to knock me on my ass so I can kick her ass back. I need that to survive. It’s like that rush of kill or be killed sort of thing so, if I was looking for a fight with somebody, I’d be like, I’d like to start a fight with Jaida Parker for example.”
