Performing in front of nearly 50,000 people in attendance at the Royal Rumble was incredibly fun. The Road to WrestleMania has officially begun and I couldn’t be more excited. This year, I also happened to make a little history. I competed for 55 minutes and 58 beautiful seconds in the women’s Royal Rumble; lasting longer than any other woman. If that’s not being an IRON woman, I don’t know what is!
I was proud and honoured to have competed in the ring against women like NXT Superstars Kacy Catanzaro, Xia Li, Kairi Sane, Rhea Ripley, Io Shirai, Candice LaRae and new talent to Raw and SmackDown Lacey Evans and Nikki Cross, among others. I wasn’t afraid to let old foes like the Riott Squad know what I was capable of either and I shockingly eliminated Liv Morgan within seconds of her entrance along with fellow Riott Squad member Sarah Logan. Ruby Riott knew better than to cross my path!
I even managed to lock two women at once in the Sharpshooter. Mandy Rose and Lacey Evans learned that if I broke them down piece by piece, it would be easier for me to toss them over the top rope on my road to winning it all. I also reignited an old rivalry with Charlotte Flair. Let me be the first to tell you, those chops are real and I’ve got the marks across my chest to prove it. I’ve missed you, Charlotte. Woo!
I think my greatest challenge, however, was squatting with the powerful Nia Jax on my shoulders. I had to dig deep and find it within myself to push that much harder when I had nothing left to give. It took everything I had left in the tank to try to throw her over the top rope, but Nia found a way to her feet, and she grabbed me and slammed me over the top. I went spilling to the floor in front of a stadium full of people. After nearly an hour in the ring and two eliminations, I can thoroughly say I did everything in my power to win, as I wanted that WrestleMania match as much as anyone.

From the moment she first came before the WWE Universe, Natalya realized that competing in WWE was a gift, one she would utilize to its fullest extent. Of course, being trained in the legendary Hart Family Dungeon alongside a few famous family members didn't hurt either.
Despite a profound desire to forge her own path, there's no denying that Natalya possesses the "hart" to reach new heights in the ring. Whether creating havoc as part of The Hart Dynasty, executing the family Sharpshooter or stepping out on her own to capture the Divas Championship, the fiery third-generation Diva has shown time-and-time again that the legendary Pink & Black legacy is safe in her hands.
