Who isn't excited for their match for the tag titles?? Guessing under 8 minutes for the match

She won the Divas Championship once at Survivor Series 2021, beating Michell McCool and Layla in a handicap match. She then lost it 71 days later at The Rumble.

She then won the Smackdown Championship at Summerslam 2017, beating Naomi. She held it for 86 days before losing to Charlotte prior to Survivor Series, who took the champion's place in the match against Raw Champ defeating Alexa Bliss

Dean Malenko had lots of classic matches and was involved in the best WCW cruiserweight angle. Natalaya is just....there

She's much more a Dolph Ziggler

Nattie is also pretty inconsistent where her matches can vary from pretty good to meh. She also hasn't ever found a character that has worked for her. The best character she probably has was when she was with Kidd and Cesaro.

I liked crazy cat lady Nattie during her Smackdown Women's reign but in ring she hits the spot of good for the Divas Era but average for the Evolution Era. At the same time she has to know WWE's never going to treat her seriously so I doubt there's much incentive to make an effort. But I certainly wouldn't put her on the level of an Amazing Kong or Sara Del Ray or even a Beth Phoeix to name other women from her era.

e: If you want a vet to compare to Dean Malenko then it's definitely Serena Deeb

I remember attending the basically-a-house-show Roadblock in 2016, Nattie wrestled Charlotte and it was maybe the second best match of the night? She's a good basic underdog babyface but historically terrible on the mic and unfortunately saddled with lovely gimmicks.

nattie is one of those people that tries sometimes and is pretty good when she tries but knows very well she's in a company that might just book her to be a heel for a few months because she has smelly farts and as such her efforts will never be really appreciated

yes that was a real gimmick they gave to her for a while

I feel the same about Natalya that I do about AJ Lee. They were really good when WWE women's wrestling was in the dirt. They couldn't keep up today.

Surely this has to be Natalya and Tamina's 84th title opportunity. They must be winning this time.

Dean Malenko was a machine who lacked size in an era where that was a way bigger issue and still had a successful career as as ring general who you could put in with almost anyone and he'd make them look good.

Nattie Neidhart has about one thing in common with Malenko, she's a Second gen wrestler. She's obviously passionate about wrestling but she is just very mediocre. Give me a couple hours and I'm confident I could name 50 better women from the Las 2 decades. Probably a random Shimmer show from 15 years ago has 5 or 6.

She was fine by the standards of 2000s WWE women's scene but that was a very bad time for women's wrestling on US TV.

I feel like Nattie had potential to be something better but ofc it's impossible to achieve that in the WWE.

Like most people in the company she would probably do better elsewhere, even at this stage of her career.

Didn't you know? WWE Wrestlemania Backlash is in a few days! I mean I have forgotten several times as well!

The most notable thing about the card is that there are quite a few triple threat matches on the card, with all of their purposes serving the same point. So WWE has an excuse to drag out feuds for at least another month. Bobby/Drew/Braun is happening so they can drag another month out of Drew/Bobby (via Braun eating the pin), and Rhea/Charlotte/Asuka is happening so they can extend Rhea's lovely heatless feud with Charlotte (through Asuka eating the pin or submission).

I'm sure more triple threat matches will be happening as well, but its probably the most filler PPV WWE has ran in awhile.

She shows way more personality in non-Raw/Smackdown videos, like a lot of superstars. :shrug: And even on Raw/Smackdown, she showed a good deal of personality when she, Kidd, and Cesaro were a unit.
