As the pro wrestling world continues to pay tribute to Brodie Lee, Natalya has now announced that she will be renaming her spinning lariat in honour of Brodie.

After Big E took to Twitter to make mention of how the real-life Jon Huber would jokingly feud with some of WWE’s female talent – including claiming that Natalya stole her spinning lariat from the former Luke Harper – the Queen of Harts replied to state her intentions of honouring her friend.

Labelled Nattie by Nature by Natalya, the one-time SmackDown Women’s Champion has utilised the spinning lariat/discus clothesline move for the entire 13 years and counting that she’s been with WWE – which makes it all the more brilliant how Brodie would lay claim to this manoeuvre having been stolen from his own arsenal.

At present, Natalya is a part of WWE's SmackDown roster, so expect to see the Nattie by Nature to have a new name by the next time that the Canadian grappler is in action on Friday nights.

Natalya last competed on the December 11 SmackDown, teaming with Billie Kay in a losing effort against the Riott Squad.
