Where she challenged Randy Myers to mortal combat and won.
In the summer of 2004 Neidhart toured England, and in March 2005, she embarked on a two month wrestling tour of Japan, intending to hone her skills. While in Japan she was billed as Nadia Hart. She returned to Canada on May 6, and promptly turned heel, announcing that "Nasty Nattie" had been born. On June 18, 2005 Neidhart debuted in the Edmonton, Alberta based Prairie Wrestling Alliance promotion, renewing her feud with Belle Lovitz.
Neidhart defeated Anna Marie, Belle Lovitz and Ma Myers in a four way match to become the first Stampede Wrestling Pacific Women's Champion on June 17, 2005. She later vacated the title.
