Natalya gives herself a prestigious nickname after SmackDown
SmackDown star Natalya has called herself the Iron Woman of WWE after a recent episode of SmackDown.
The term "Iron Man/Woman" is often regarded by participants who have lasted the longest amount of time in a rumble match. Superstars like Finn Balor and Sasha Banks were called this after Royal Rumble 2018.
Last night on SmackDown, Natalya defeated Raquel Rodriguez, Shotzi, Aliyah, Xia Li and Shayna Baszler to become the new number one contender for Ronda Rousey's SmackDown Women's Championship. She later went on to Twitter and gave herself a new nickname while replying to a tweet:
@WrestleOps That’s because I’m the IRON-WOMAN of the @wwe.
It will be interesting to see whether The Queen of Harts lives up to her self proclaimed nickname and defeat Ronda Rousey for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
Lacey Evans sends a message to Natalya after SmackDown
The Lady of WWE returned earlier this year after the birth of her second child. Lacey Evans was set to face Asuka or Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 37 but those plans were scrapped due to maternal leave. It was rumored that she was supposed to win the RAW Women's Championship with the help of Ric Flair.
Several vignettes aired about Evans' past and her time in the marines. It was indicated that she had turned face and will continue on RAW. After jumping from the brand and turning heel, Lacey landed back on SmackDown.
