Veteran Superstar says she’s staying patient and hopeful amid backstage frustration

Summary

– Hinted at “big announcements” coming soon regarding her next storyline

Natalya has seen WWE evolve through multiple eras. Now, amid recent reports of internal frustration over the women’s division, the veteran offers her perspective—with a mix of honesty and optimism.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Natalya acknowledged that the women’s roster is deeper than ever, bringing opportunities and challenges. With limited screen time and more Superstars vying for key spots, she admitted it’s easy to feel left out—but she prefers a constructive approach.

Instead of using social media to air her grievances, Natalya explained that she continues pitching ideas backstage, even if initially rejected. “Hey, I have an idea. ‘We don’t like that.’ Hey, I have another idea. ‘We don’t like that.’ Something is going to stick,” she said, emphasizing persistence over frustration.

Natalya also mentioned she would have loved to be the first Women’s Intercontinental Champion but stressed that achievements need meaningful storylines behind them—not just quick payoffs for instant gratification. She noted that booking weekly shows is complicated, with injuries and long-term plans often influencing what fans see on TV.

“I think we all want more,” she admitted. “But I also think that let’s just see what happens.” While she’s eager to do more in WWE after 18 years, Natalya said she’s confident the timing will be right when the next big opportunity comes—and teased that some major developments are on the horizon.

This follows a Fightful Select report stating that several women on WWE’s main roster feel underutilized, with concerns about weak tag division booking, lack of challengers, and limited creativity for anyone outside the top names.

Still, Natalya chooses patience, creativity, and faith in the process. Her message: change takes time, and she’s here to contribute—not complain.
