With the Divas Revolution in full swing, many fans have been wondering why Natalya has not been included. During a recent appearance on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, she expressed her frustration with the situation:
“To be honest, I don’t know why I’m not included in this. I don’t have an answer. I really don’t. And your guess is as good as mine.”
She admits that watching the Divas Revolution from the sidelines has been difficult, but she has faith in WWE’s creative process and will wait to see how it plays out.
“There was a part of me where I was like, ‘I’m going to have a hard time watching all of the girls compete and not being a part of it’ and I feel like there is so much of me that is wanting to be a part of it.” Natalya said.
“I just have to trust in the powers that be. I have to trust in the universe. And right now is not my time and I’ll just help everybody celebrate their time and be supportive of them because one day it will be my time”.
Natalya also spoke about her match against Charlotte at NXT Takeover (May 2014), which she called her “WrestleMania moment.”
“I’ve grown up around wrestling my entire life and I never thought that a match in front of 400 people, a match at Full Sail University, in front of 400 people, would be one of the highlights of my career.”
She spent months training for the match, which she says “really embodied everything I wanted it to as far as my career and just telling a story.” She’s thankful that Triple H gave her the opportunity to do what she does best.
“Triple H, actually, gave me the opportunity to have the match and basically the freedom to create and to do everything that I wanted to do, everything that I did when I was in Japan.” Natalya added.
“Triple H gave me the freedom to create and invent and to have no limitations because, for a long time, I’m not afraid to say it, for a long time, Nattie was looked at in WWE by the powers that be [as] maybe too wrestlery.”
