Russian professional wrestler Natalia Markova, the reigning NWA World Women’s Champion, has marked her 37th birthday with an X post featuring a photo of her lounging in bed in purple-patterned lingerie. The image highlights her physique and confident gaze, drawing plenty of comments, including WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam, who hoped she had a “5-star day.“

Markova debuted in 2007 with Moscow’s Independent Wrestling Federation, competing under the name Bonnie and capturing the IWF Women’s Championship multiple times through 2017. After a hiatus, she relocated to North America in 2017 and excelled on the US indie scene, leading to her signing with Billy Corgan’s NWA in 2021, and capturing the NWA World Women’s Championship in 2025 by dethroning Kenzie Paige after her 720-day reign.
