Ahead of her WrestleMania Showcase match this weekend alongside her tag team partner Shotzi, Natalya took to media day and spoke with Steve Fall from Wrestling News. Natalya answered several questions including the popular topic around WrestleMania time, the WWE Hall of Fame.
When speaking on the topic of a possible second Evolution premium live event, Natalya responded with several women she feels should be getting more opportunities. This includes Dana Brooke who previously pitched the idea of turning the 24/7 Championship into a Women’s Intercontinental Title.
“I think that we need more championships,” says Natalya. “We need more representation. Next year for the Hall of Fame, I want two women getting inducted. We have all these men getting inducted. I just think it’d be so cool to have two women get inducted. There’s so many women that deserve to be in that Hall of Fame like Miss. Elizabeth, like Michelle McCool, like Layla, like Victoria, like Mickie James. The list goes on and on.”
After going over the infamous farting gimmick that Natalya had years ago, she states that she gives whatever is given to her and does it 100%. Whether this be to losing to Aliyah in three seconds, being in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, or even winning the SmackDown Women’s Title from one of who she called the best wrestlers in that of Naomi.
When asked if she feels Naomi will eventually return, she stated –
“I think so. I think that it would be so amazing to have Naomi come back to WWE. I don’t know the particulars of why they (Naomi and Sasha Banks) really left. I am close friends to both girls, but I never really asked them. And it isn’t something we really talked about. I feel like when they are ready to discuss it they will, but I also feel like everybody has to go through their own journey.”
Natalya will be teaming up with Shotzi to face Liv Morgan/Raquel Rodriguez, Shayna Baszler/Ronda Rousey, and Chelsea Green/Sonya Deville on April 2 in the WrestleMania Showcase match.
Check back in with Diva Dirt on both April 1 and April 2 to talk about WrestleMania 39 live in our discussion posts.
