5 WWE Stars Who Will Suffer The Most From Upcoming Pushes

Question: How can an association with Ronda Rousey, the single biggest celebrity WWE have on their books, be considered a bad thing for Natalya? That's something you may be asking yourself upon seeing Nattie's name pop up here. The answer, much like Ronda's schedule, is difficult to pin down.

The truth is that Natalya isn't affected by Rousey's presence when she's on screen. Ronda's gig is a part-time one though, and that means Natalya is barely relevant without her. When Ronda is around, and subsequently pushed to the moon (which is sure to happen once WWE are satisfied she's fully ready), the more likely she is to leave Nattie behind.

There's no way this is a long time story, put it that way.

WWE tend to revert to type with Natalya and cast her as a catty veteran jealous of someone else's success. That's likely to be the story with Ronda too, and it means Natalya will be cut down quickly by Rousey for a quick shine before the MMA crossover moves on. Where does Nattie go then?
