Natalya may be the longest tenured in the WWE women’s locker room, but she isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Signing a new contract last year, Natalya spoke with DS from Ring the Belle on her goals for this year. She wants the Women’s Intercontinental Title and wants to be involved in some great stories.
“I was signing my new deal with WWE in June of last year. I had some really great conversations, especially with Triple H,” she said. “So I think with Triple H, he’s really, really big on storytelling, and he’s really big on finding the right moments for everyone, not just the women of WWE, but for the men of WWE, too. If you look at the way he books PLEs and our shows, it’s everything. I feel like there’s a rhyme and a reason, and it’s very, very strategic. So my goal, and I’ve expressed this to everybody that I work with, especially the powers that be, is to be a part of fun stories, and too, for me, it’s, it’s not so much about winning and losing matches as it is about being a part of stories. So I feel like my goal for this year is to win the IC Title because I feel like it, for me, the IC title is a title for the workhorses, and so, with my family connection and just everything that I’ve worked for, I would love to be a Women’s IC Champion. I would love to be a part of some really great storylines.”
She continues to explain how well Nia Jax had it in 2024 and since her return.
“So I have so much faith in Triple H that we’re going to get there. It’s just that timing is everything, waiting for that right storyline. Seeing how he’s turned so many people. Nia Jax, in the last year coming back under this booking with Triple H, she has had the run of a lifetime, and she’s been able to prove to everybody why she is Women’s Championship material. She’s elevated so many other women. Women have elevated her, too, but she’s done the best work of her career. I think she’s fantastic,” said Nattie. “I’m excited for when I get to be a part of a storyline that the fans can really get connected to. So, that is my goal for this year, and I’m looking forward to it.” (Transcript – Fightful)
