Natalya Interview with DAZN discusses if she is the Randy Orton of the women’s division and which champion she would challenge if victorious at Money in the Bank.

DAZN: How excited are you finally have full capacity crowds this weekend at SmackDown and Money in the Bank with a WWE Universe that’s going to be screaming, cheering, and booing?

Natalya: It’s hard to believe that it’s finally happening after the last 16 months of dealing with everything that we’ve all gone through and endured during the pandemic. This SmackDown coming up is the first time we’re going to have fans but knowing that we have a pay-per-view two days later, Money in the Bank (that is) sold out, it’s huge. It’s emotional thinking about it. It just gets me feeling all sorts of ways that I haven’t felt since WrestleMania. I remember crying both days of WrestleMania because I was like, ‘This is crazy. We actually have people that are going to watch us at the shows’. I never ever took our WWE Universe, our fans, for granted, ever. But we didn’t realize just how much we needed them, especially when you’re a performer. You need their energy. You need to feel the adrenaline. You need to feel the rush of the crowd, whether they’re cheering for you, booing you, laughing, crying, screaming, whether you’re throwing your shirt at them or pointing to them or making eye contact with them when you’re cutting a promo. It’s all those things that we’re trained to have that we didn’t have. So it’s going to be unbelievable. There’s going to be huge surprises at Money in the Bank. 

You can just expect the unexpected. We’re excited. I want to win the ladder match. I got announced on Monday by Sonia DeVille. She just announced that via social media, and I was just as surprised as everybody else. I was surprised because I already have gold. But then I thought about it and said to Tamina Snuka, ‘Why can’t I have it all?’ On Monday, I dedicated my entry into Money in the Bank to Tamina Snuka. When I win the Money in the Bank contract, I’m going to dedicate my victory to Tamina Snuka, and we’re going to go for everything. We want it all.
