Last night on WWE NXT, former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Natalya made a surprise return to the Black and Gold brand. She answered Lola Vice’s open challenge.
Lola Vice had a strong showing, but in the end, she was no match for the Queen of Harts. After the match, Natalya addressed her return and her getting back to her winning ways.
“I feel… Honestly, I’m just like speechless. Because it feels just surreal being back here. Even though I’m one of the most winning women in WWE, I do have a world record for that. But it’s been a minute since I actually had a victory in WWE. And these moments, I don’t take for granted. I just feel so honored to be here. Um… I almost got choked up when I heard the crowd. Like I just… It just made me emotional cuz it brought back so many memories of some of the best moments of my career that were at NXT, truly.
“And being in the ring with Lola, I realized more than ever that she is one of the fastest-rising stars in NXT. She’s amazing. But she’s not the B.O.A.T. And just knowing that she’s so talented but also seeing how cocky she is, it just felt really good putting her in her place tonight. And I don’t know… I just… I think I need to go celebrate with a glass of wine and some chocolate.”
Natalya also looks forward to breaking Vice’s ankles with the Sharpshooter.
“Yeah, and Lola, I’m just so excited to just entertain the idea of putting her in a Sharpshooter. She got away a little easy tonight. I would love to break her ankles in the Sharpshooter. That’ll be fun,” Natalya said.
