As previously reported here, the first-ever WWE women’s match in Saudi Arabia is scheduled for the upcoming Crown Jewel event. You can check out the Lacey Evans and Natalya’s reactions to the historic news below:
Natalya on how she feels about the news:“I’m so excited. I don’t even feel like it’s really sunk in. For me, it’s just life changing. And I — it was like 3 o’clock in the morning when the news broke back in the states — 3 o’clock, 4 o’clock in the US. So, I texted my mom like, and I’m like, ‘I’m so sorry to wake you up, but I’m so excited!’ And my mom was so happy. To me, I can’t believe that I’m getting to do this, and I cannot believe that I’m getting to be part of history. I’m so excited for our WWE fans in Saudi Arabia and our WWE fans around the world. And for women around the world, it’s transcending.”
Lacey Evans on the match: “Just Honored. Honored that I get to be apart of this history-making event. Honored to be here to get to perform in front of the WWE Universe in front of Saudi Arabia. To get to open doors that have never been open before. And just I’m blown away. I’m honestly numb right now. I can’t believe this is happening. Like I said, I’m just blessed that I get to be here.”
