Natalya shares her thoughts on her matches with Ronda Rousey.
Rousey and Natalya have clashed multiple times since the former UFC star came to WWE. At WWE Money in the Bank 2022, Rousey defeated Natalya to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship. The duo had a rematch in September 2022, and they also competed in the Women's WrestleMania Showcase match at WrestleMania 39.
Speaking with Ring The Belle, Natalya's matches with Rousey came up in the conversation, and the veteran made it clear that she has had fun with them. She noted that Rousey has trusted her when they have worked together. Natalya also stated that their match at WWE Money in the Bank didn't get enough love, as it was overshadowed by Liv Morgan cashing in her Money in the Bank contract.
"I talked to Ronda throughout the whole entire thing because I really wanted to kick her ass, and I did. In all seriousness, the matches that I’ve had against Ronda Rousey, they’ve been so challenging and so much fun. She’s really trusted me with our performances, and I’ve really loved having those matches against her. Like the match we had at Money in the Bank last year, I don’t think it got enough love. It was because Liv cashed in right after, and Liv had that amazing moment where she became the SmackDown Women’s Champion. But I loved that match against Ronda. So I’m just sending a little shout-out and love to Ronda," Natalya said.
In the same interview, Natalya stated that no one has embraced "bitch" the way she has. Check out her comments here.
