During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Natalya discussed her lengthy WWE career, highlighting that she has never become comfortable.
Natalya also stressed the importance of continuously fighting for one’s spot to ensure longevity in WWE. She said,
“That’s been one of my little secrets to my longevity is that I never get comfortable. You cannot get comfortable because this job is very special, is very unique, is very much a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and you need to fight for it with your life, and wrestle like your life depended on it. That’s what we try to do in our training. I like to instill that in people. It’s not just practice, you want to fight with all your heart.”
During a recent appearance on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” former WWE Superstar Shotzi Blackheart expressed her desire to face ROH Women’s World Champion Athena in AEW. She said,
“I mean, first thing that comes to mind, Athena. I think that she’s so awesome. I honestly think that she’s the best women’s wrestler in the world. I am such a huge fan of her, not even just because we tagged together and I had so much fun with her as a tag team, but I just think she’s amazing, and I’ve never gotten to wrestle her before. So, I would love that. But also, you know, Mercedes Mone obviously, Toni Storm. Just to hear the promos that she [Storm] would put on me. She is killing it.”
And finally, Mike Santana is eager for another chance at the TNA World Title after losing a match on NXT due to interference.
During a recent appearance on the “Muscle Memory” podcast, Santana hoped to compete for the title again at TNA Slammiversary 2025.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the NXT match: “It was awesome. Great experience and… the entire thing was just amazing and I’m sure it won’t be the last time. Hopefully, I’ve made a great impression and I guess, according to the response it got, right? But, yeah man, like I said, I’m just getting started.”
On where he sees himself on the Slammiversary card: “There’s only one place that I wanna be on that card in my city, and that’s in the main event. That’s where I wanna be. That’s where — I’m not gonna say that I deserve to be, because screw deserving. I’ve earned it. I’ve put in the work and I’ve continued to put in the work and that’s where I wanna be, in the main event for the TNA World Title.”
