Natalya may be the longest tenured in the WWE womens locker room, but she isnt slowing down anytime soon. Signing a new contract last year, Natalya spoke with DS from Ring the Belle on her goals for this year. She wants the Womens Intercontinental Title and wants to be involved in some great stories.
I was signing my new deal with WWE in June of last year. I had some really great conversations, especially with Triple H,she said.So I think with Triple H, hes really, really big on storytelling, and hes really big on finding the right moments for everyone, not just the women of WWE, but for the men of WWE, too. If you look at the way he books PLEs and our shows, its everything. I feel like theres a rhyme and a reason, and its very, very strategic. So my goal, and Ive expressed this to everybody that I work with, especially the powers that be, is to be a part of fun stories, and too, for me, its, its not so much about winning and losing matches as it is about being a part of stories. So I feel like my goal for this year is to win the IC Title because I feel like it, for me, the IC title is a title for the workhorses, and so, with my family connection and just everything that Ive worked for, I would love to be a Womens IC Champion. I would love to be a part of some really great storylines.
She continues to explain how well Nia Jax had it in 2024 and since her return.
So I have so much faith in Triple H that were going to get there. Its just that timing is everything, waiting for that right storyline. Seeing how hes turned so many people. Nia Jax, in the last year coming back under this booking with Triple H, she has had the run of a lifetime, and shes been able to prove to everybody why she is Womens Championship material. Shes elevated so many other women. Women have elevated her, too, but shes done the best work of her career. I think shes fantastic,said Nattie.Im excited for when I get to be a part of a storyline that the fans can really get connected to. So, that is my goal for this year, and Im looking forward to it.
