WWE veteran Natalya recently appeared on the Tuesday Wrestling Tuesday podcast with Jonathan Hood and talked about how she feels that SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair is in a tough spot because there's only so much she can do and once she has done it all and accomplished what she set out to do, it is high time for other women to rise to the occasion and get the chance.
Natalya said:
“Charlotte Flair, I think it’s a tough spot because there’s only so much that she can do.” “There’s only so many places you can go. Once you’ve done it all, once you’ve main evented WrestleMania, you’ve won X amount of championships. When you have had everything and you’ve experienced everything, it is really, really cool to watch other women rise to the occasion and get the chance.”
Natalya also talked about how she had no idea she had the most matches out of any women in the WWE as well as the most wins out of any woman in the history of the promotion until a fan reached out to her as she does not keep track of her matches, but that it is a huge honor for her to have an achievement such as that.
Natalya said:
“I don’t keep track of every single match that I’ve had, I don’t keep track of it.” “During the pandemic, a fan had reached out to me and said, ‘hey, I just want to let you know that you’ve had the most matches and the most wins of any woman in WWE history.’ Then, I had posted about it and then I guess Guinness Book Of Worlds Records had picked up on it.”
“So I have two world records, for the most matches and the most PPV matches. They’re currently investigating my most wins. Of course, they had to do fact checks and all those sorts of things.” “But right now, I have two world records, most PPV matches of any woman in WWE history and most matches. But we are trying to get the most wins on there too. For me, like I said, I don’t keep track, but when I heard that, I was so honored.”
Natalya then talked about which wrestlers she would like to work with down the line.
Natalya said:
“There’s a ton of women that I want to work with that I’ve never had the chance to work with, like Io Shirai I’d love to work with. Indi Hartwell is somebody that I’ve kind of got my eye on. I think she’s really talented.” “Of course, my dream match right now would be against Toni Storm. Those to me are all things that I want to accomplish.”
