Natalia Markova Calls Carmella Stealing Her Catchphrase "Cheap"

Natalia Markova recently spoke to Scott Mitchell with PWMania to talk about her career and about her issues with Carmella stealing her catchphrase.

"I lecture so much against any drama, I didn't even know until people started tagging me about her using my catchphrase. I would have expected her to stop doing that out of respect for the wrestling business. I'm a known wrestler, I've done a lot. I've had a big career, even though I'm not the most popular wrestler, people know about me."

Markova continued with her thoughts on Carmella using her catchphrase.

"Stuff like that is cheap and not the right thing to do. I think stealing is bad, it doesn't matter if you're a big star or a small star. it's just disrespectful and if she wants to be a noble person she has to stop using my catchphrase."

Carmella has used the catchphrase on television and more recently in a tweet just a few days ago.

Natalia Markova was offered a WWE tryout in 2017, and has since been seen in companies such as Shine, Evolve, and AEW. Markova has been seen frequently in NWA since late 2021.
