Natalya has returned to NXT.
On the April 12 episode of NXT 2.0, Cora Jade came to the ring to address her loss at Stand & Deliver, saying she needs to become Women's Champion. Just as she was about to continue, Natalya came out and made a surprise appearance. She was greeted with a rapturous ovation which brought her to tears.
Cora told Natalya that she is her idol, even sharing a story of messaging her on Twitter after a house show that she attended when she was 10 years old. Natalya said she saw that message and was humbled to see the impact she had on her. She called Cora the future of NXT but then said that the future is bleak.
After slapping Cora, Natalya took her down and applied the sharpshooter, making the young superstar tap out.
