Natalya confirmed on the Oct. 23 episode of Raw that her tag team partner Tegan Nox is injured. Her injury was not mentioned but was said to have take place last week on NXT in her match against Lyra Valkyria. Natalya confirms that Nox will be “back soon.”
Fans learned about this in a locker room segment when Natalya wished Indi Hartwell good luck in her match against Becky Lynch. Candice LeRae was also present.
Later in the night, Natalya would find a tag team partner to take on Chelsea Green and Piper Niven in a non-title match. Well sort of? Her partner was Nikki Cross who walked to the ring like a zombie.
Natalya started the match before Cross made it to the ring apron. Once on the apron, Cross stood there in a trance until Natalya was heading for a pin. Cross leapt down from the ring apron and walked to the back still in a trance.
Final moments of the match had Green hit the Unprettiher followed by a cross body splash by Niven. Niven pinned Natalya for the win.
More results from Raw to come.
