She spoke on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast, and discussed her recent Women’s Tag Team Championship victory with Tamina. She then reflected on Vince fighting over the cause. She said:
“Yeah, Vince is a very complex and dynamic character, of course we all know the character of Mr. McMahon,” Natalya said. “But he’s somebody that’s made my dreams come true and Tamina’s dreams come true. Everything from me having that moment in Saudi Arabia, where people don’t know how hard Vince fought for the women to have a match in Saudi Arabia.”
At the event, Natalya emerges victorious over Lacey Evans via submission in the match that lasted seven minutes.
