Natalya recently appeared as a guest on "INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet" for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, "The Queen of Harts" addressed her retirement status in WWE, noting she is still feeling great and doesn't plan on hanging things up anytime soon.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where she touches on this topic with her thoughts.
On how she is still feeling good at this point in her career and doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon: "I just feel so good. That’s the crazy thing is that, like people always say oh, when are you gonna wrap it up? When is it gonna be done? It’s like, Listen, this is Hotel California. You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave. Once you do this, like I’m a wrestler through and through like it’ll never ever, ever, ever, ever leave me ever. It’s a community. It’s a family. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a way of life and it doesn’t mean that I’ll be competing forever."
On how Rey Mysterio is 50 years old and still doing some of the best work of his career: "When I saw Rey Mysterio, I was watching him in a match. I was live at a show and I went into the crowd and like put a hat on and watched him you know, I was incognito and I watched Rey perform live, it was in Mexico and he was wrestling Roman Reigns. And I was just like Rey is almost 50 and he is doing the best work of his career. He’s so inspiring, his gear, his look his energy, his vibe, his ability to move around to make people feel something and granted he was in there with one of the greatest of all time Roman, but Rey is one of the greatest of all time. He just inspires me so much and like I’m you know, I’m not close to being done when I look at like what Rey’s doing. I’m like Rey inspires me to want to do so much more and to also help people you know, because you look at who Rey’s worked with and how much he’s helped people even with Santos right now you know. I look up to so much as Rey, what he’s done."
