Without a doubt, Natalya is a veteran in the WWE women’s division. Her in-ring skills are critically acclaimed and it’s fair today that she’s not just a talent in the locker room but a figure to who WWE female superstars can reach out for any sort of assistance. This role was also noticed during WWE’s Total Divas reality TV series in the past.
Now, this role could be extended as WWE involved her with the NXT Women’s Division. Following Wrestlemania 38, Natalya was sent to the third brand of the WWE to start a program with Cora Jade. It seems like Smackdown superstar will eventually be getting into the ring with a number of other superstars during this feud.

Recently, Natalya took the time for an interview after SmackDown went off the air. The self-proclaimed BOAT was ecstatic to explain how much time she still puts into wrestling. This was also cited to be one of the factors why she is a three-time Guinness Book of World Records holder, one of them being the most women’s match performer in WWE.
“I work Mondays, I work Tuesdays, I work Fridays, I work weekends, and I train in my own ring on Wednesday nights. Megan, I can do it all,” Natalya boasted to the interviewer Megan Morant. “There’s a reason why I have the most matches of any woman in WWE history, there’s a reason I have the most wins of every woman in WWE history. There’s a reason why I have the most pay-per-view matches the most WrestleMania matches.”

Natalya recently featured in her second run with the NXT brand
As noted above, Natalya recently made her return to WWE NXT, getting involved in a feud with Cora Jade. In her second week with the NXT, she defeated newcomer Tatum Paxley in her returning match to the brand after almost eight years. The Hart Dungeon member revealed a good reason for her to be back on Tuesday nights.
Natalya hopes to take out the competition from the fresh talents before they even start coming at her for a spot on the main roster,
“It’s all these whiny girls at NXT crying, saying, ‘You know, Natalya inspired me to do this and Natalya inspired me to do that.’ That’s why I say, I never attacked Cora Jade. That was self-defense because all of these women that are fans one day, they’re competitors the next day, looking to take my job. So Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays – I don’t get ready, Megan, I stay ready.” (quotes courtesy Wrestling INC)
