Natalya has decided to be less selfish in her wrestling career.
Natalya has been a WWE superstar for 15 years. She holds many records in the company and is a multi time women’s champion in the WWE. Natalya is currently scheduled to face Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money In The Bank.
Speaking with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Natalya detailed how she has changed as a performer as of late, being a little more selfish.
“For me, it was right before I went to NXT and started working with Cora Jade. Shawn Michaels had requested that I come to NXT and do a program there. I was so excited and honored because I truly consider NXT a huge honor to go there. It’s the brand that Triple H really built, and I feel like he built it from his heart and soul and love for pro wrestling. But also, you see a huge difference over the years with how Triple H kind of molded women’s wrestling down there. We wouldn’t have had Becky Lynch, Bayley, Sasha, Bianca, so many girls, Charlotte Flair. We wouldn’t have had that without Triple H’s vision for women’s wrestling in NXT. So whenever I am asked to go down there, I really take it seriously. I felt like in this rivalry with Cora, maybe they wanted to play it a little safe with me and I was like, ‘No, I want to step outside some lines here. I want to ruffle a few feathers,’ and then it just started feeling really good to say what I feel. Even on Twitter, I got scared before I would tweet something and now I’m like, ‘Too bad. It’s out there. Let it breathe.’ Everyone’s going to get pissed off, but you know what, it’s getting everybody talking and I’m glad that it’s pissed Ronda off,”

Time will tell how long Natalya will decide to be less selfless in her WWE career but for now she is certainly thinking more of herself.
