Blackheart speaks about her friendship with Natalya.
Natalya was a supportive figure who was a constant throughout Shotzi Blackheart's time in WWE. Blackheart expanded on that while doing a Q&A for Podcast Heat Wrestling.
Now that she's back on the independent scene and Natalya has competed outside of WWE several times in 2025, Shotzi expressed that she'd want NWA or GCW to book a match between herself and the 25-year veteran.
“I would love that. I would love if NWA would bring me in and book me against Nattie or Bloodsport, bring me in, book me against Nattie. Nattie has been a huge part of my career. I met her long ago when I had my first SmackDown tryout and she was the one person that came up to me after my tryout and gave me some advice and she’s always open to bringing me to train in her ring. She was my first match on the main roster. She was my partner at WrestleMania. My one and only WrestleMania. So I had a lot of really important moments with her and she has always just been there for me. Always calling me whenever something’s going on in my life. She has been my shoulder to cry on. Yeah, and I’m loving seeing this new resurgence. Nattie is just kicking ass and she works really hard to kick ass and I want to get in there with this new version of Nattie.”
In a media appearance, Natalya stated that she hopes to continue working with NWA. To read her comments, click here.
