Natalya is coming back to Bloodsport.

A few months removed from her seven-minute victory over TJPW’s Miyu Yamashita, WWE’s Nattie Neidhart will return to the GCW brand for the second time.

Natalya is scheduled to take on TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich at the August 2 card in Rutherford, New Jersey, during WWE’s Summerslam weekend.

Under her new persona, “The Low-Key Legend,” Natalya has been appearing all around the U.S. indies this year, while continuing to work on the WWE roster.

One month after her Wrestlemania weekend win over Yamashita, Natalya showed up at the NWA Crockett Cup 2025, where she challenged Kenzie Page for the promotion’s women’s title. Last month, she won at a Reality of Wrestling card, beating Promise Braxton in just under 12 minutes.

She’ll now return to Bloodsport to face Slamovich, who will be appearing on the special GCW program for the seventh time since 2021.

A match between the two was set up earlier this week on social media following a back-and-forth between the two. After Natalya competed at WWE Evolution, Slamovich asked if the vet is “grateful for the women out there waiting to beat you.”

Natalya responded: “Big tough woman calling out someone you THINK can’t get a match between us sanctioned. Let me make a call, and I’ll see you soon.”

Hours later, it was confirmed that they would battle it out on Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport. Their pairing is the first match confirmed for next month’s event.
