Natalya wants the gold.
In recent weeks, WWE has started tournaments to crown the inaugural WWE Women’s United States and Intercontinental Champions. Chelsea Green won the WWE Women’s United States Championship at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. The tournament for the Intercontinental Championship is underway.
In a tweet, Natalya stated that it was her turn to win a singles title. She first wrote, “It’s my turn.” In another post, she reiterated that it was her turn. She highlighted how she had competed in nearly 2,000 matches over 17 years, and she had won two singles titles. Natalya said that it was her turn, and no one was going to outwork her.
Natalya is currently competing in a tournament to crown the next challenger for the WWE Women’s Speed Championship. She will face Kairi Sane and Alba Fyre in the first round of the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament.
Natalya is a former WWE Divas Champion and SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Liv Morgan Praises Natalya
WWE Women’s Champion Liv Morgan praised Natalya in an interview with Billboard.
“[Natalya] is such a martyr in this women’s division. She’s the past, the present and the future,” Morgan said. “She’s been with WWE for almost 18 years. Do you know how incredible that is and what an incredible career that is? I think she’s the most decorated woman in WWE history. I think she has the most wins, the most matches for any woman in WWE and she gets better as she goes along.
“She trains at The Dungeon with [her husband] TJ weekly, curating and securing the next generation of superstars. She’s been a part of so many firsts and so many historic moments. Like I said, she gets better over time and I think there’s something to say for that. We all should aspire to have a career like Natalya. She’s the best in the locker room and I just love her. I’m grateful for her. She’s the GOAT.”
