Earlier on Raw Natalya was backstage with Bayley trying to hold back Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks from getting into a backstage brawl and debating on who was to blame for their fall out after their match. While Natalya and Bayley was blaming each others friends The Riott Squad steps in and tells The Queen of harts and Bayley they love to make matters worse and challenges them to find a partner and face them in the ring. Natalya accepts the challenge.

Watch the video below:

Nikki Cross made her debut on Raw teaming with Natalya & Bayley in a winning effort against The Riott Squad. Nikki Cross was a one-woman wrecking crew in the match, tagging in early and almost single handedly decimating the opposing trio in the early goings. When she wasn’t tagged in, she disrupted the contest by way of her mere presence. And while Nikki Cross didn’t earn the victory, she teed Bayley up for the fateful pinfall by dropping Liv Morgan with a hanging neckbreaker off the ropes. Bayley followed up with an elbow drop off the top turnbuckle, and that was that. Call it a successful debut for Nikki Cross, though whether it was just a cameo appearance or a taste of things to come is a question that has yet to be answered.

Jan. 2 was a sad day for the WWE Universe as we lost one of the most well-known backstage personalities of all time, WWE Hall of of Famer Gene Okerlund.

“Mean Gene,” as he was universally known, made every WWE Superstar he interacted with appear larger than life. He had the gift of gab as one of WWE’s most tenured personalities. Triple H tweeted that “Gene was a voice and soundtrack to an entire era of our industry. He was the star of some of WWE’s most memorable segments. Mean Gene was beloved by all who got to work with him.”

The day Gene passed away, I pulled up old footage of some of his most notorious interviews. There were so many hilarious interviews with the likes of Ric Flair, Bobby (The Brain) Heenan, Hulk Hogan and the British Bulldog. Of course, Gene’s “conversations” with the Hart Foundation had me cracking up! There was one interview during which Gene was talking with my dad, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, and Bret Hart, talking about how they were going to beat the Killer Bees in the ring once and for all!

They were talking in great detail and comparing them to bumblebees, saying they were going to “take their wings off.” Gene looked like he was about ready to burst out laughing and called my dad “one sick puppy!” Gene added during the interview, “Stu Hart would be ashamed of you!” Then Bret chimed to say, “Actually, Stu loves what we do!” My dad, Bret and Jimmy Hart looked like they were having the time of their lives and that had a lot to do with Gene. He made everyone feel comfortable to be themselves and have fun while still telling a story.

It’s hard to believe 2019 is here and there’s so much to plan! I had a giant New Year’s Eve party at my house! Heck, we already had three Christmas dinners in the past two weeks because no one in my family could decide whose house we were going to go to. The Hart family loves to celebrate!

Undeniably, the last year in WWE has been awesome! I competed at WrestleMania, was in a Money in the Bank ladder match, got drafted to Monday Night Raw, performed in the first all-women’s pay-per-view, Evolution, had a tables match with Ruby Riott, performed in front of thousands of our troops and faced off against Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women’s Championship.

I got to do so many cool things this past year. It’s also been a year of so much personal growth for me. When my dad passed away, I was under a lot of stress with planning a funeral, trying to pick out just the right flowers and pictures and simply trying to find the right way to say goodbye. It just seemed like it was easier for me to not say goodbye at all. That was tough. I think I cried so hard there were times I didn’t feel like I had any tears left inside to cry.

There were moments last year in which I wasn’t sure how I’d get through but I did. In my championship match against Ronda Rousey, I felt overwhelming pressure to be the best. I used that pressure to rise up and have an awesome match with her. I thought about the hard times, and how I made it through those, so I could make it through this. I remember us both being super emotional when we got backstage because we felt like all of our training together had paid off and we finally got to tell a great story in the ring!

Nia Jax & Tamina ambushed The Queen of Harts Natalya earlier in the night after she had declared her entry for the Women’s Royal Rumble Match. Ronda and Natalya came into the match determined to make them pay, blistering both their opponents.

Nia & Tamina isolated Natalya from Ronda and even maintaining control when Ronda tagged in, thanks to a timely leg drop by Nia. Tamina made a move to close, ascending the top rope for a splash attempt. But Ronda got her feet up to block the maneuver and quickly locked in the Armbar to submit Tamina for the win and Ronda Rousey & Natalya closes out 2018 with a bang.
