WWE asks interesting question ahead of grudge match on RAW
WWE asked fans an interesting question ahead of a grudge match on tonight's edition of RAW. Tonight's show will feature The Judgment Day's Finn Balor and JD McDonagh defending the World Tag Team Championship against The New Day's Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, and the return of CM Punk.
Natalya had not competed on WWE RAW since her loss to Kiana James on June 3 before her return last week. James was recently removed from the promotion's active roster due to a leg injury.
Last week on the red brand, Natalya returned to action to team with Zelina Vega and Lyra Valkyria to defeat Pure Fusion Collective (Zoey Stark, Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler) in a Six-Woman Tag Team match. Nattie will be squaring off against Stark tonight in a singles match, and the promotion wondered if the veteran would teach the 30-year-old a lesson in respect during their singles match tonight on RAW.
"Can @NatbyNature teach @ZoeyStarkWWE a lesson in respect or will it be a triumphant night for Pure Fusion Collective?"
Vince Russo reacts to Pure Fusion Collective's loss last week on WWE RAW
Former WWE writer Vince Russo was not a fan of the company's decision to hand Pure Fusion Collective a loss during Natalya's return to the ring last Monday night on RAW.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo noted that the company had spent a lot of money on Pure Fusion Collective's presentation, but the faction doesn't have any momentum. The veteran noted that the trio was a victim of 50/50 booking, and the loss last week was a bad sign for the group.
"What is the name of that group again? Pure Fusion Collective, bro, you know what’s bad? Natalya is in her hometown of Calgary, so they are doing the job...What you’re talking about there is all money and investment. That’s not free. The titantrons, the packages put together, that’s not free, that is an investment. So, you’re gonna invest all this money and at the end of the investment, it’s going to be 50-50."

It was recently reported that Natalya has signed a new deal with WWE. Only time will tell if the veteran will be able to defeat Zoey Stark later tonight on RAW.
