Natalya says Trish Stratus ages like fine wine.
Speaking with Bill Apter for Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Natalya was asked to discuss the WWE Hall of Famer's strengths and weaknesses. She initially highlighted the way Stratus can be a heel or a babyface. Natalya then emphasized that Stratus is like Jennifer Lopez, as she gets better with age.
"Trish can always diversify. She’s exciting as a babyface, she’s exciting as a bad girl. She looks better than ever. It’s funny because so many people, even when I was in my 30s, people would be like, ‘How much longer do you want to do this?’ I would be like, ‘Hey guys, half the men in our company are in their mid-40s.’ So when I’m in my mid-30s and you’re making me feel old, sometimes I feel like, ‘Wait, am I old?’ But Trish coming back into WWE, she’s like the Jennifer Lopez of WWE. She gets better with time. She looks better now at 47 than she did 20 years ago. I’ve seen Trish backstage, and I’m like, ‘How did Trish Stratus reverse age?’ She looks so good, she looks more fit than ever. She looks refreshed and rejuvenated and young. I’m like, ‘Damn, tell me your beauty secrets.’ But I like that Trish is always open for a great story. She’s always open to reinvent and be a good storyteller," Natalya said.
Natalya then pointed to Stratus' pairing with Zoey Stark. She recalled how Becky Lynch said Stark didn't have any personality during a promo and noted that she believed the remark "pissed off" the Raw newcomer. Natalya emphasized that she thinks Stratus will help Stark come out of her shell.
"I’m loving this partnership with Zoey. I think it’s great. I think even when Becky Lynch said, ‘Zoey, you have no personality,’ I think sometimes you do the best stuff when you’re pissed off, and I think that comment really pissed off Zoey Stark. I think Zoey Stark actually does have a personality, but she’s just dying to let it show, and I think Trish Stratus is gonna be able to help Zoey bring out that personality that nobody has ever seen before. I think they make a great pairing. I think it’s awesome, and I think it’s awesome that Trish wants to help Zoey come out of her shell," Natalya said.
