Natalya: “I’m Not Sorry That I Was Born Into Wrestling

Tomorrow night, “The Queen of Harts” Natalya will challenge Charlotte for the WWE Women’s Championship in a Submission match at “Extreme Rules.”

It’s such an interesting dynamic because it’s modern day Hart vs. Flair, but it’s also The Figure Eight versus The Sharpshooter. As a wrestling fan, it’s hard not to get excited about this match.

Nattie recently spoke with SportingNews.com about being in the main event segment of Monday Night Raw and her match with Charlotte on Sunday night.

What was it like to main event Monday Night Raw? 

“It was shocking to find out. I got to the arena and then we were told that you guys are on last. We were like “oh my God.” Not only are we main-eventing Raw but we’re closing Raw. It was surreal. And it’s still surreal. I was on my drive last night from Greensboro to Greenville and I was just processing it all, taking it all in and going wow. I can’t believe I did that. Just being able to hold up that Women’s Championship and to think about wrestling for 15 years and after going through the highest of highs, the lowest of lows. Being in that ring with Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Ric Flair and Charlotte Flair. You have the McMahons, the Harts and the Flairs and it doesn’t get any bigger than that in wrestling when you think about wrestling hierarchy and royalty. Our families have done so much over the years for this.”

“I hear certain, not a lot of girls, but some people are like “well, I’m sorry I wasn’t born into this.” But I was born into this and I’m not sorry about it. To me, it wasn’t an easy ride to be born into a big, crazy world of wrestling. (Monday) night, holding up that championship on Raw and closing Raw, it’s a huge moment for myself, it was a huge moment for Charlotte, it was a huge moment for women in the WWE moving our division forward. It just shows that WWE is embracing their women with all their efforts.”
