6 Ups And 7 Downs From WWE Raw (June 15)

4. Nattie Turns Heel. AGAIN.

Natalya Neidhart turns heel for the 87th time. Film at 11.

Has there ever been a more loosely defined women’s wrestler than Nattie? She seems to slide between face and heel on a week-to-week basis, depending on whatever the needs of the booking sheet are. Need a face for a tag match? Natalya is your gal. Need a heel to smack a young babyface around? Nattie is available.

So once again, we saw Natalya go from being largely a face teaming with Liv Morgan to blaming Morgan for their loss to the IIconics in the most unconvincing, “I’m reading these lines off cue cards just off-camera” tone imaginable. Then after shaming Liv off, Nattie runs into Lana as the two commiserate being pillars of their own lives and being slighted by others.

Somehow, this alliance isn’t exactly screaming “money” to us.
