Speaking with WWE.com mere hours after the match announcement, Natalya stated that she’s “so excited” to be part of history.
It’s life-changing. It was 3 in the morning when the news broke back in the states. I texted my mom and I was like “I’m so sorry to wake up, but I’m so excited.” To me, I can’t believe I’m getting to do this. I cannot believe that I’m going to be a part of history.
Natalya will be wrestling Lacey Evans at Crown Jewel this Thursday in a rematch from many episodes of RAW this month.
