In case you didn’t know…
The champ has been playing her role as a heel with aplomb on SmackDown so far. She recently retained her title against Charlotte at WWE Hell In a Cell 2017 via disqualification.
The match she recollected in the interview took place in NXT three years ago and ended with Charlotte having the belt wrapped around her waist.
The heart of the matter
When asked if she prefers to play a heel or babyface, the top heel on the blue brand said that although playing the ‘good guy’ comes naturally to her, her current role is more fun.
Here’s what the champ had to say,
She then went on to say why she felt her NXT match with Charlotte in 2014 was like main-eventing Wrestlemania.
“For me, the Takeover match at NXT, it was only in front of 200 people and that live crowd, it was insane to think that those 200 people could give me a WrestleMania moment. I say that because that match with her was just as special to me as main-eventing WrestleMania.
Natalya then went on to explain what made it so special.
What’s next?
Natalya is certain to continue her role as a heel on the blue brand but is certainly going to have a hard time holding on to the belt in a hyper-competitive division.
Author’s take
Natalya and Charlotte put on a masterclass everytime they go at it in the squared circle. The match she refers to in the interview is certainly a good one but what’s just as certain is that the duo has several great encounters ahead of them.
