WWE veteran Natalya is officially slated to headline Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling (ROW) event this weekend. ROW confirmed that Natalya will face off against Promise Braxton in the main event of their all-women’s “Hart and Soul” card this Saturday, June 28th, in Texas City, Texas. This announcement follows a heated exchange between the two wrestlers on social media.
For this appearance, and mirroring her recent non-WWE bookings with Bloodsport and the NWA, Natalya will be competing under the moniker “Nattie,” a name often associated with a more aggressive and intense side of her in-ring persona compared to her usual WWE presentation.
The match came about, in part, due to a social media interaction where Braxton reportedly called Natalya “washed up.” Natalya responded with a fiery promo, saying, “You want to say that I’m washed? I’m going to remember those words, Promise, when I’m choking out your tired lifeless body. Because usually I only train little bitches like you in my Dungeon. But on June 28, I’m going to teach you the toughest lesson of them all: Natalya elevates, and Nattie decimates.”
Her opponent, Promise Braxton, is a familiar name to Reality of Wrestling fans. She is a two-time former ROW Diamonds Champion.
Reality of Wrestling, owned and operated by WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, is a prominent wrestling school and promotion based in Texas City, Texas. It is also one of the training facilities that WWE has partnered with for their WWE ID talent development program. This Saturday’s “Hart and Soul” event will be the second half of a doubleheader for ROW.
