Natalya has pointed to the match she had on the 7/3 edition on WWE RAW against Rhea Ripley as one of the best of her career.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio recently, Natalya talked about the match helping her regain her confidence as a performer in the process:
“I went into that match, the last month or so, my confidence had been rocked. After Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, it was just a really hard time for me because I was starting to feel like maybe I wasn’t good enough, maybe I couldn’t hang. And then going into that match and performing at that level, I just stopped and reminded everyone that not only have I fought to be here, and do I have the right to be here but I can also hang at the very highest level.”
Natalya would go on to call the match for the Women’s World Championship one of the top three she’s ever had, describing Rhea as a “dream opponent” and showing a great deal of respect for the champion.
