Natalya was Michael Cole’s guest for this week’s WWE.com interview. Here are some highlights:
– Natalya spoke about her role on Total Divas and is happy that it’s given people a chance to see how she is outside of the ring. The show is about being real, relatable and human.
– They spoke about her uncle Bret Hart being in her corner this weekend at Payback when she challenges Charlotte for the Women’s Championship. Cole asked how Bret is doing after his rough year battling prostate cancer. Natalya says Bret is a hero and an inspiration. He’s one of her best friends and it means means a lot to her that he will be supporting her at Payback.
– Regarding her opponent this Sunday, Natalya said Charlotte was somebody she respected after their memorable match at NXT Takeover, but Charlotte has changed. Charlotte acts entitled, as if she deserves everything. She was bothered by Charlotte’s recent statement that she’s accomplished more on the main roster than all of WWE’s other women combined. Cole hypes that Charlotte and Natalya will be appearing on Dean Ambrose’s Ambrose Asylum this Thursday on SmackDown. Natalya says the Charlotte’s ways disappoint her, but she plans to put Charlotte in her place. Payback will be her defining moment.
