Is This WWE Star The "Randy Orton Of The Women's Division"?
One of WWE's women has responded to claims that she's the "Randy Orton" of her division.
"Damn".
No, Natalya wasn't mimicking Hall Of Famer Ron Simmons during an interview with DAZN. Instead, the current Women's Tag-Team Champ (alongside Tamina) was reacting to reports that some fans call her the "Randy Orton of the women's division".
Nattie isn't sure the comparison is correct, but says she's flattered to be linked to a "master" like Randy - the Canadian then went on to suggest that Orton is one of the all-time greats, but said she'd still put her uncle Bret Hart ahead of him.
That's no surprise. Natalya would put Bret ahead of anyone!
The veteran is touched that fans think so highly of her though. She put Randy over by mentioning "all the little things he’s so good at"; Nattie loves Orton's "mannerisms, his facials, the way he can manipulate a camera, the way he can manipulate an audience etc", and summed it all up by calling him "so good" generally.
However, she knows that some other fans would turn their noses up at the comparison. That's life, and it's something she says she can't change.
What do you make of the comparison? Is Natalya the "Randy Orton" of WWE's women's division?
