After nearly a year away from the Power Slap stage, Robyn Wereshchuk is back — and she’s walking straight into another storm. The Scottish striker returns at Power Slap 17, where she faces Sheena Bathory, one of the sport’s most feared names.
For Wereshchuk, it’s not just another matchup — it’s another chance to prove she belongs among the best.
“They don’t like giving me easy fights,” Wereshchuk told Slap News. “They keep pushing me up, and I’ll take any fight. Sheena’s a big name in Power Slap, and this is going to be a big one.”
Life Between Fights: From Mum Mode to Fight Mode
Since her debut win over Jackie Catalyne at Power Slap 9 in Abu Dhabi, Robyn’s been balancing family life, recovery, and training — all while struggling to find a gym that supports her slap-fighting ambitions.
“The gym I was at didn’t like me doing Power Slap,” she explained. “It’s not a big thing in Scotland, so people don’t really understand it. But my partner fights for the Slap Fighting Championship in Dubai with Eddie Hall, so we’ve been training together — just doing what we can.”
That support system, she says, has made all the difference.
“He knows what it feels like to go up there. He’s done bare-knuckle and BKFC, so he gets it. Having someone who understands — that’s huge. Last time in Abu Dhabi, I didn’t know anyone. This time it’s different. My parents get it now, and I’ve got real support around me.”
Testing Herself in Bare Knuckle
Between Power Slap appearances, Wereshchuk also tested herself in bare-knuckle boxing, competing in Bad to the Bone’s “Fight Before Christmas” event last December.
“That was my first ever boxing fight — not just bare-knuckle, my first boxing match ever,” she laughed. “I fought a girl with way more experience, but I loved every second of it. My parents hated it, though. There’s no real money in bare-knuckle at that level, so I’m focusing my time and energy on Power Slap.”
Eyes on Vegas, but Enjoying the Journey
With Power Slap expanding fast — potentially adding up to 12 events next year — Wereshchuk is eager to secure her spot on future cards.
“I hope I get on more than once next year. You kind of lose faith waiting to hear back, but I really want to go to Vegas. The Vegas shows look incredible — I’m jealous of everyone in Abu Dhabi right now!”
Fighting Style, Mindset, and Message
Known for her energy, composure, and unmistakable Scottish flair, Wereshchuk says fans can expect the same charisma when she steps up again — maybe even a few new dance moves.
“I might have some new moves,” she said with a grin. “Last time I was just vibing — my song came on, and I felt good. You’ve just got to go out there and enjoy it.”
Still, she knows the key to victory lies in discipline and precision.
“You can train all you want, but on the night, it’s about landing clean. My focus is simple — no fouls, no stepping, no clubbing. Eat the slaps, give clean slaps.”
No Bad Blood — Just Business
While some rivalries in Power Slap are charged with animosity, Wereshchuk insists her matchup with Sheena Bathory comes from mutual respect.
“She’s honestly really nice,” Robyn admitted. “We’ve talked on Instagram. After Abu Dhabi, she messaged me saying she loved my energy. There’s no bad blood — not yet, anyway,” she laughed. “But when we get up there, we’re both giving it everything.”
The Final Word
As Power Slap continues to rise globally — from Abu Dhabi to Vegas and potentially the U.K. — Wereshchuk represents the new wave of international talent balancing life, motherhood, and combat.
“Sometimes you get imposter syndrome,” she said. “Like, why am I here? I’m just some random mum. But women like Chelsea Dodson are showing it’s possible. We’re proving we belong here.”
Win or lose, Robyn Wereshchuk’s fire is undeniable — and at Power Slap 17, she’s ready to remind everyone why they keep giving her the toughest fights in the game.
