Natalya shares emotional story with absent WWE Superstar who hasn't wrestled in over a year
WWE Superstar Natalya reminisced about the old days on social media. She shared an emotional story on Instagram with her former tag team partner, Tamina, who has been absent from the company for over a year now. Her last match took place at the 2023 Royal Rumble.
Nattie and Tamina have several singles as well as tag team accolades to their name. The duo defeated the team of Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler to win the Women's Tag Team Title on the May 14, 2021, episode of SmackDown. Notably, Tamina was previously the tag team partner of Jax but chose to side with Nattie later on.
Taking a look back at their achievement, Natalya shared a story on her Instagram featuring an old image of them when they became the Women’s Tag Team Champions.
They couldn’t keep their titles for long and lost them to Rhea Ripley and Nikki Cross on the September 20 episode of RAW. Moreover, their tag team also got separated via the Draft when Tamina was drafted to the red brand while Natalya remained on SmackDown.
Natalya praises IYO SKY after the WWE Queen of The Ring tournament
Natalya traded blows with Japanese superstar IYO SKY in the first round of the Queen of the Ring tournament. The Damage CTRL member won against Nattie and advanced to the quarter-finals.
The Queen of Harts took to her X/Twitter and praised the former WWE Women’s Champion.
“@Iyo_SkyWWE is the 60th woman I’ve wrestled in @wwe. She’s everything I had expected her to be and more. It feels great to be in the best shape of my life, doing the best work of my life. UNSTOPPABLE AND UNBREAKABLE.”
The veteran has now assumed the role of putting newer stars over while also remaining a menacing threat in the ring.
Following her loss in the Queen of the Ring Tournament, it remains to be seen what the company has planned for the veteran.
