Natalya is promising to make Jaida Parker pay for invading her training ground, declaring she will “put this bitch in her place” when the two meet on NXT. The WWE veteran called into Busted Open Radio with Dave LaGreca and Bully Ray to address their escalating rivalry.
The feud intensified after Parker showed up at Natalya’s Dungeon, and Natalya made clear she viewed it as a profound act of disrespect. “She came to the Dungeon, and of course, she has no respect,” Natalya said. “She is somebody that’s very entitled.” Natalya said her earlier comments, that Parker had been “coddled” and “spoon fed,” had clearly struck a nerve. “Sometimes people don’t like looking at themselves in the mirror and actually confronting who they really are,” she said.
Natalya framed herself as the gatekeeper for Parker’s career. “What Jaida doesn’t understand is that Jaida will live or die in this business on my recommendation or my condemnation,” she said. “If Jaida can’t fly with me, she’s not going to be able to fly at all in this business… I’ll be the one who decides whether Jaida can fly.”
She pointed to her track record of helping others, including Charlotte Flair, as the reason the disrespect cut so deep. “I have done so much to help give back to others,” Natalya said. “She’s pissed me off, and she’s taken me to a place that is not a good place for me, but it’s also a place where I thrive.” With the match set for NXT, Natalya did not hold back. “I cannot wait to put this bitch in her place… I can’t wait to knock her on her ass,” she said, adding that Parker is “getting all of Natty, and then some.”
Natalya stressed that her issue was not with being challenged, but with how Parker did it. She said the Dungeon is invite-only and that she had repeatedly asked Parker to confront her directly. “I’ve been asking her for weeks to my face to knock me on my ass. She didn’t want to do that,” Natalya said. “This bitch was not invited to the Dungeon, and she came into my private space.”
Bully Ray likened the invasion to a street fighter disrespecting a martial arts dojo, recalling a story of a disrespectful trainee at his and Devon’s school who was promptly “stretched” and thrown out. He said Natalya needs to “stretch, beat up, blow up, humble, and expose Jaida Parker.” But he also offered a warning, noting that if Parker can hand Natalya a decisive loss, it could undercut the veteran’s reinvention. “If Jaida Parker could put a quick end to that, you might never see Natty again,” Bully said.
