Natalya is back in NXT and she may be there to stay for a bit. The BOAT of WWE made her way out to the ring during a promo being given by Cora Jade on the April 12 episode.
Jade, who has had a couple of shots at the NXT Women’s Title, was telling the NXT fans that she is at a point where she not only wants to become champion but needs to be. She would go on to list off those women that came before her that she has idolized. She wants to be among names such as Aj Lee, Sasha Banks, Natalya, Bayley, Paige, and the list for Cora goes on and on.
As she gets ready to go into a discussion on the Generation of Jade, Natalya’s music hits. After a huge reaction from the NXT crowd, an emotional Natalya boosts up Jade as the two share a moment together. Jade confesses that Natalya was her first favorite female WWE Superstar. After calling Cora the future of the women’s division Natalya says the future is bleak and slaps her across the face and puts her in the Sharpshooter. Jade continues to tap out as officials attempt to intervene with Natalya eventually breaking the hold.
Later in the night, Natalya was walking backstage among many of the newest NXT talents. She was stopped by Tatum Paxley who says she is trying to prove herself to Diamond Mine and challenged Natalya to a match.
Paxley has been trying to prove to Ivy Nile that she belongs with the faction ever since they tagged together for the Dusty Cup. Natalya agrees to a match and tells the rest of the women that the BOAT is here and they are all put on notice. Next week Natalya takes on Paxley.
See what Cora Jade had to say after the attack below in a Digital Exclusive.
Tiffany Stratton vs. Sarray is confirmed for next week as well as their rivalry continues. Stratton holds a victory over their first time in the ring together.
Also on this week’s NXT 2.0, Mandy Rose successfully defended her NXT Women’s Championship against Dakota Kai. After costing Kai & Raquel Gonzalez the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles last week, Kai was out for blood as she wanted to take the gold away from Rose.
As per usual, the rest of Toxic Attraction was at ringside and made the match a matter of a numbers game. After help from Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne throughout the match, Rose would put away Kai with a running knee. Toxic Attraction remains the attraction of NXT as all three hold gold.
After the match, Wendy Choo appears and drenches the champions with super soakers.
Lash Legends proves her rivalry is far from over with Nikkita Lyons. Legend attacked Lyons as the latter was having an interview. Lyons holds a victory over Legend in the one encounter they have had in the ring.
