Apparently, getting demolished multiple times and doubting yourself and your very existence on Raw is fuel for calling out a champ for a title match.

That’s the lesson learned from watching Natalya’s promo Monday night, as she acknowledged that she is fighting a mental battle after being obliterated by Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley. Rather than going on a vision quest or taking time off to rediscover herself, Nattie called Ripley out to meet her in the ring next week – and to bring her title.

Yep, Natalya, who has won exactly one main show singles match since June 2021, is calling out the women’s champion after being embarrassed multiple times. And we’re supposed to get invested. Sorry, still not there.
