Natalya vs Deeb would be a great feud

[@carlod803]

this is like a dream match I never knew I wanted

[@slamjamsam2828]

That match would be a technical wrestling clinic!

[@Alancealot]

I think Nattie would be a great trainer/coach for AEW or WWE

[@Blomhaus]

And nothing more 🤞

[@dazzle1933]

Get a 30 minute match out Mercedes or Athena or take the belt off Toni Storm

[@kevinborders4387]

Considering all her matches look like she's in the middle of training that makes sense at least

[@dazzle1933]

@@kevinborders4387 Natalya has been turned in to the female Barry Windham of this era. For those who don't remember he has to put over lesser talent like Luger and Goldberg and with all respect Sting. Natalya is having to put over lesser talents like Liv Morgan and NXT wrestlers when she should be headlining women's main events. Not Morgan, hippo Jax

[@francisco_m7849]

They’re probably not doing the Q&A because most of them was asking where Andy is🤣

[@user-kr9sj7ue1w]

What happened? I’ve been wondering where he is 🤷‍♂️

[@thriller4life]

ZSJ V OC was the best match on the card. While in attendance that match woke the crowd up the most before the main event.

[@tomseville2345]

She didn't "miss Raw" if she wasn't booked on it or meant to be backstage; you made it sound like she no-showed a scheduled match or something...

[@Mr_Oggie]

WWE has been promoting Natalya as being at their upcoming (September) shows in Alberta, Canada.

[@A-M-B]

Was coming to say the exact same thing. I know cards are subject to change but they're going out of their way and advertised her.

[@francisco_m7849]

Can you imagine what kind of boost hard-core fans of the hart family would get knowing that Natalia is player coaching the women’s locker room. You can already smell the change on the women’s division side. It’ll be insane.

[@tomseville2345]

Ludwig cracked his rib when Bron took him over the table last week; he hit the edge when he was upside down... 😬😬

Hey by the way, quick shout out to lady Frost. She is doing a great job at that show. I’m trying to give her props as much as possible.

[@kellymacdonald6963]

I'm sure Natalya will make as big an impression on the women's division as a coach & mentor as Madison Rayne has.

[@winslowcross235]

Ricochet would be amazing in aew!

[@shaungray9944]

Sabre jr is right, they're too blind to see past a gimmick they don't like

Natalya “Enough is enough. It’s time for a change.”

[@powerofme7144]

I’m not a nugget! 😂

[@francisco_m7849]

Not sure about this one with Natalia. She seems to be the type of person who likes stability and recently the new powers that be at WWE like to hold off on renewing contracts presumably to add to the drama of well are they actually going to stay or not. They did it with Drew. They did it with Chad. Becky is just taking time off from WWE so not renewing her contract for now. Just gives her the freedom and time to pursue other stuff without having to worry about getting pulled back in again. Natalia, although would be a really great fit backstage at AEW, though especially with the ongoing love that everyone has for Brett in that promotion.

[@damwolf_5088]

I think Natalya to AEW would be a great fit. She could have a role like Serena Deeb, probably play it better, and she would be a great dark horse in next year's Owen Hart Cup tournament. She's not a terrible wrestler, she's just old school in her style, which I think could really work in AEW. Wish she could've been in this year's tournament, but obviously that wouldn't work out.

[@craiggrayson9036]

That's hers to win next year if she jumps to AEW

[@craiggrayson9036]

Man jus take the lost , he's jumping to AEW if u would jus be a regular wrestling fan like me u wouldn't feel any type way about a wrestler jumping promotions

[@PontiacBandit902]

I actually agree with ZSJ. Orange Cassidy is one of the few bright spots in that company because he is something different than everyone else on the roster.

[@Gamem0ver]

Ok... Her not showing up to a raw taping, is a telling of going to aew ? Here's a thought maybe she had a day off ? This is a far stretch to think of...

[@dragonrana88]

Yea, its their job to make content and speculation is easy. Natalyas contract is coming up, she's removed WWE from her social media bio and then this happened. Its not that big a stretch to think

[@badmanarnie2456]

She wasn't even needed, there were no plans for her so she wasn't there, a common thing to happen. This channel has become an embarrassment 😂

[@francisco_m7849]

There are certain aspects. There are obviously different between AEW and WWE one really big one is the fact that WWE figured out quite quickly that their ability to make a lot of money was diving into the multimedia industry. McMahon understood business he had people who understood that content was the way to go no matter what you put just enough contents out there and it the machine was supply itself. The case of AEW goal their goal is to have really great wrestling and the multi media part of it is important, but it’s not the end all be all.

[@Filmation77]

Nattie's a great hand and there are some cool possible match-ups and she can help the younger talent get better.

[@onknight]

Wouldn't be a good time to take the belt off will he's International tidal rain has just started and he just had a family member pass. I'd wait at least two months before moving the title

[@razorramon7573]

Nattie missed Raw like viewers have been doing since the spring of '01! 😁

I hope Andy is ok, but I’m really loving Hamflett on the news, he’s doing great

[@davidwibben9886]

Ricochet and chuck taylor

[@irishted13]

Natalya & TJ going to AEW would be a boon to the AEW women’s division. For the past 5 years, any & all great women’s storylines & bookings that have gotten praise inevitably have either TJ or Fit Finlay’s name attached to it &/or footage of training at TJ & Nattie’s Dungeon shown.

[@Noisy_Army_YT]

Ive said for ages almost ever since aew started that natty should go to aew and get a big pay day and move to backstage after her in ring caree ends

[@francisco_m7849]

ZSJ for the longest time when I came to Orange Cassidy would say not that he should not be in wrestling but that he knows this guy is dangerous and people don’t see it because of the way he performs. Then Zach is like oh no I see exactly what this guy is and I want to try to see if I can beat him, perfection

[@Deathcatclub]

Jesus Christ Francisco! Comment it all in one comment or shut up!

[@JeremyHomicki]

If Natie went to AEW she has a chance at some more Guiness World Records. I don't know what exactly but...yeah.

[@neiljohnson2067]

I've always been a fan of Nattie but WWE loses nothing if she leaves.

[@powerofme7144]

Because they’ve devalued her. While she might not have the greatest charisma, they could’ve helped her work on it along with a compelling storyline. She ended up being a fart in the wind. 😂

[@francisco_m7849]

Zach Saber Junior is nothing but class as far as I am concerned. Batman is considered one of the best in the world and he put rightfully so orange Cassidy as one of the top people you gotta look out for. That’s the type of guy I love to listen to, and he is not afraid to say when somebody can give him a run for his money.

Clearly you’re not watching. The women’s division is awesome right now.

[@gehtdichnixan8561]

The "sad thing about that" is all on WWE though. Apart from using her to get no-names over, the basically "best" thing they did to her in recent years was to put the most-embarassing "world record" ever on her, for the "fastest loss in wrestling history". Hers, in WWE, pretty much is a comedy gimmick that doesn't realize how she is being made a walking joke. p.s.: Thus, it's hard to imagine how really "anyone" could use her worse than that...

Well WWE didnt use her right for years so why go to AEW? They already showed they have no idea how to use anyone the sign from there. She could have been the female bret hart, no gimmick "serious wreslter" type. Seeing how she is one of the few females that can actually wrestle maybe yea a trainer perhaps.

[@gehtdichnixan8561]

Uhm... biased, and wrong. - Tony Storm does the work of her lifetime these days. - Athena does great too (although it's for a quite limitted audience in RoH). - Jon Moxley, from being used solely as a sidekick or in "destined to fail"-angles, was elevated to one of the world's top wrestling stars. - Same goes for Brian Danielson, who, always being a top star, was set to retire in WWE, and could add another 3 years full-time. - Claudio Castagnoli, set as a tag-only-wrestler, could finally shine. - Aleister Black, despite not being crowned champion even once yet, feels WAY more significant than he ever did in WWE; - same goes for Buddy Matthews. - Adam Cole, pre-injury, was a staple main-eventer in AEW, whereas WWE never let him get out of the show that can't be watched sober. - Roderick Strong, despite having the charisma of a pebble, is presented well too. - Samoa Joe became a major factor instead of a menacing-looking W-feeder. - Billy Gunn came back from a random cameo-appearance at HoF-stuff to a top guy. - Sting. 'nuff said. Now, there's a few who wouldn't be used too great in AEW: Hardy brothers (eventhough everyone knows "why" that was the case), Andrade, to name the most-obvious. This list is insignificant compared to the one showcasing succesful career-reboots though. "I" dunno wether AEW would really have a slot for Natalya, IF so however, she most definitely would be used better than "now" - especially since the in-ring-work matters more in AEW, and that happens to be Natalya's field of expertise.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

It's really annoying when a wrestler has yet to sign a contract and the first thing you guys wanna talk about is them going to AEW. Like y'all have any proof. And why would it be a good thing seeing how AEW is struggling with ratings, low attendance and booking? Adding more wrestlers to their bloated roster isn't going to help anything 🤦‍♀️🙄

[@edenton1974]

Their attendance has been going up. They did 11k on Sunday but keep up with your false narrative. Nattie could just be taking time off before signing a new WWE deal.

[@gehtdichnixan8561]

Hm. Wrestlers hardly, if ever, get "trashed" by channels like this. THAT is exclusively done by spineless commenters. When it comes to angles though - it's hard to come up with another wrestler's name who got mistreated worse than Natalya by their employer, with really the only "outstanding achievement" they were allowed to accomplish being the "world record" for "fastest loss in wrestling history" against a complete "no name".
