Natalya discusses working for Triple H and says he’s a cool boss.
Natalya signed with WWE in 2007, and she is one of the longest-tenured members of the roster. She took some time off from WWE this past summer, and her contract was coming up. The veteran reportedly re-signed with WWE in July and returned on the September 9 episode of WWE RAW.
Natalya opened up about her time away while speaking on the Growing Up Von Erich podcast. She described how the culture had changed, as it was easier to take time off with Triple H at the helm. (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)
“I took a little time off this summer and the company was so great about it,” she said. “They were like, ‘Take as much time as you need.’ It’s really changing so much in the best way. The culture is so different now. Our boss, Triple H, he is such a cool boss. I recently got eye surgery to correct astigmatism in my eye. I needed a little bit more time off to get that done and he was like, ‘go get your eye fixed. Don’t even worry about it. Take care of yourself.’ It’s so cool to have a boss that is human.
“Working with Triple H over the last year has been such a breath of fresh air because he was also a wrestler. He knows what it’s about when you’re pitching a storyline or going through a hardship at home, he has three daughters as well. He knows about handling girls. Girls are different than guys. We’re more emotional, we overthink things. He’s a really cool boss. I really like working for him and with him. It’s been such a breath of fresh air.”
