The Queen Of Harts has complimented multiple SmackDown Superstars on being locker room leaders.
During a recent interview with TalkSport’s Alex McCarthy, Natalya discussed the roles several SmackDown Superstars take backstage.
The Queen Of Harts complimented several superstars. The first of which was Liv Morgan, who she said despite being young, already has a lot of leadership qualities.
“She was in developmental for a long time. And I watched Liv in our wrestling practice – TJ and myself, we were watching here – and people don’t realise it because she looks very young, but she actually has a lot of leadership qualities about her that I’m impressed with.”
“I’m impressed with how she brings them to the ring but not a lot of people know that. I told Liv ‘don’t forget, you’re actually a leader.’ She helps people and you don’t event realise she’s doing it. If we need to make somebody look really strong for example, Liv takes herself out of the match and says Ok, I don’t want to look weak but I need to make sure I tell the story of David Vs Goliath and she really puts herself in a leadership role.”
Natalya also complimented Bayley and Tamina for their roles backstage on the blue brand.
“I also think Bayley. Bayley is someone who I see really is a leader in the locker room as well as Tamina Snuka.”
“Tamina is the mumma bear of the roster. When Chelsea Green broke her wrist, Tamina took control and made sure Chelsea was safe. She stayed with her, went with her to the hospital; Tamina Snuka is a cornerstone of our locker room, she’s very special to our locker room.”
The Queen Of Harts went on to discuss the Workhorse Gym, which she runs with her husband and WWE Producer, Tyson Kidd. Natalya invites her colleagues such as Mandy Rose, Lana, and Liv Morgan to the gym, which houses a wrestling ring.
“Of course I’m not a school, I’m not a facility – yet. One day… one day… but right now it’s kind of like an exclusive fight club for WWE girls that want to get better.”
“It’s really cool to have it. It’s been a dream of mine my whole life to have my own ring. We’re lucky that we have it so we can help other women realize their fullest potential,” Natalya said.
