Shannon Katherine Furlong-Wilson (born May 27, 1982) is a Canadian professional wrestler, currently signed to IWE on its SmackDown brand under the ring name Shannon.

Furlong is a third-generation wrestler and member of the Heart wrestling family. She trained in the Heart family Dungeon under the tutelage of her uncles Ross and Bruce Heart. In 2000 and 2001, she worked for the Matrats promotion, before debuting for Stampede Wrestling in 2003. In 2004 and 2005, she wrestled abroad in both England and Japan. In June 2005, she became the inaugural Stampede Women's Pacific Championship, and won the SuperGirls Championship the following year in October 2006.

In January 2007, she signed a contract with IWE and was assigned to the Deep South Wrestling developmental territory, before wrestling in Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). While in FCW, she managed her cousin, David Aldrich, and her boyfriend, Tyson Booth. She debuted on the main roster in April 2008 as Natalya, allying herself with Courtney Savoie. The following year, she moved to the XCW brand to manage the debuting Tyson Booth. They were later joined by David Heart Aldrich to form The Heart Dynasty and moved to the SmackDown brand. In April 2010, The Heart Dynasty won the Unified IWE Tag Team Championship and were moved to the Raw brand. In September, Shannon began focusing on singles competition, which culminated in her winning the IWE Divas Championship in November. The following April, she returned to the SmackDown brand as part of the 2011 Supplemental Draft.
