WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Natalya recently appeared as special guest on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions Podcast and discussed about several topics including her scrapped plans before teaming up with Tamina.
The Boss Sasha Banks was the top female superstar in WWE and had a great run as Smackdown Women’s Champion on blue brand. Her championship reign came to an at WrestleMania 37 by Bianca Belair winning the title. But before that WWE planned a program between Sasha Banks and Natalya.
During the interview, Natalya revealed that she was supposed to have feud with Sasha Banks for title earlier this year but plans were changed after Binaca Belair winning the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Later, they teamed up Natalya with Tamina.
“I was supposed to go into a rivalry with Sasha Banks earlier this year and everything changed when Bianca won the Rumble. I was so excited about wrestling Sasha because I think she’s one of the greatest women’s wrestlers in the world, if not the best. TJ said to me, ‘You and Tamina need to be a team. You would be perfect together.’ He pulled up a picture and showed the family history, Owen with Yokozuna, the Headshrinkers, the Bulldogs, the Hart Foundation. ‘Look at all the greatness your families have done together. You guys should be a team. You should pitch it.’ I went from being sad not working Sasha because I had all these ideas and we were training together and Sasha lit this fire in me. Then I had this new fire in me of teaming with Tamina. TJ was the inspiration behind it,” said Natalya. (H/T: Fightful)

Tamina and Natalya had done a great job as tag team. They got the huge pop for their match against Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania 37 and with that momentum they have won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles from Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.
