WWE surprised everyone yesterday by announcing the first-ever women’s match in Saudi Arabia between Natalya and Lacey Evans for the upcoming Crown Jewel PPV.
The company later posted a couple of videos capturing the individual response of these two female superstars on the announcement of the upcoming historic match.
The first video featuring Lacey Evans was shot right after the press conference and talking about the upcoming bout, the Raw Star said that she can’t believe it’s happening:
“Just honored, honored that I get to be a part of this history-making event, and I’m just… I’m blown away. I’m honestly numb right now. I can’t believe that this is happening, and like I said, I’m just blessed that I get to be here.”
Natalya also made similar comments on the matter and in the interview taken a few hours after the announcement the former Divas Champion said that it’s a life-changing event:
“I don’t even feel like it’s really sunk in. For me, it’s just… it’s life-changing. I can’t believe that I’m getting to do this and I cannot believe that I’m going to be a part of history. I’m just so excited”
Natalya and Lacey Evans will be making history with their singles match at the upcoming Crown Jewel PPV taking place from King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh this Friday.
