Natalya Reacts to Fans Comparing Her to Future WWE Hall of Famer Randy Orton

From last year, Natalya started calling herself the BOAT i.e. Best of All Time. But when she got several title opportunities at the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championship, Natalya failed to gain momentum.

However, this year is pretty good for her till now. She and her long-time friend Tamina won the Women’s Tag Team champion. It is Natalya’s third championship in WWE apart from the Divas Championship (2010) and the SmackDown Women’s Championship (2017).

Despite suffering a loss against Tegan Nox and Shotzi Blackheart this Friday, The Queen of Harts is not stopping soon. She recently revealed why it was important for veterans to team up and put over the younger superstars. She gave an example of Team RK-Bro.

“We need veterans. I don’t want to compare myself to Randy Orton because I think Randy Orton is the greatest pro wrestler, really one of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest of all time,” she told DAZN.

“But you need to have a mix of people that can take their equity and pay it forward, like with Randy and Matt Riddle,” Natalya firmly believes. She is also excited to see the likes of Tegan Nox, Toni Storm, and Shotzi Blackheart finally crossing over to the main roster.

Natalya on if she is the female Randy Orton indeed

Like Orton, Natalya also mentors newer talents like Mandy Rose, Lana, and others on and off-screen. In the same interview, she also talked about if she was really ‘The Viper’ of the Women’s locker room.

“For me, I look at Randy Orton, and I really try to watch his work. Randy is just a master of the little things,” Natalya lauded Orton. “All the little things he’s so good at, like his mannerisms, his facials, the way he can manipulate a camera, the way he can manipulate an audience.”

“He’s just so good. I would love to be compared to Randy because I think Randy’s the greatest. Bret Hart is my top pick, and I am biased, but Randy really is one of the greatest of all time, so if I was ever compared to Randy Orton, it would be the biggest honor,” she confessed.

Like we mentioned, Natalya and Tamina are a part of the Women’s MITB match. Both of them would try to capture the coveted contract for the first time in their career.
