Nattie: Triple H Wanted Me To Bring What I Built Outside Of WWE And Bring It In, He’s Been Integral To My Entrance

In early 2024, Natalya reinvented herself as Nattie, making appearances at GCW Bloodsport and NWA, as more of a no-nonsense trash talker who wasn’t afraid to let everyone know she is the best.

It was a break from the Natalya character she portrayed on WWE TV, who was constantly helpful and giving.

In 2025, Natalya has been able to bring Nattie to WWE following her turn on Maxxine Dupri.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Nattie spoke about bringing the new character to WWE.

“I’m so grateful that I’m getting a chance to use my real name. That is a very big deal. It’s not lost on me the effort and time that they are taking to let me realize this dream that I have. That I want to be called Nattie and I wanted to have a different energy and vibe. A big part of that is Triple H seeing that vision with me. He wanted me to have new entrance music and a new entrance. He wanted me to use my real name. He wanted me to take everything I built on the outside of WWE and bring it to the company. For me, it’s also important to have gratitude. There is a ton we could bitch about every day and every week, but there is a ton to be grateful, too. I’m so grateful I’m getting to do that.

“Triple H has been integral in my new entrance. He’s been a big part of working with me on my entrance and finding the best way to repackage Nattie. Triple H is a big part of the entrances in WWE for a lot of the talent. I see, when I’m there and watching rehearsal and behind the scenes, if you see a really cool entrance in WWE, it’s probably because Triple H put it together. He is very big on entrances. The fact that he has taken the time to work with me on my entrance and make it feel special and different, but have a level of simplicity for the character, I’m so grateful that we’re doing that and that he’s a huge catalyst in doing that.”

WWE has officially changed Natalya’s name to Nattie.

On Monday’s WWE Raw, Nattie sent a message to Maxxine by putting her in a sharpshooter on a table and having to be pulled off by officials.
