Natalya appears on WWE NXT, attacks Cora Jade

WWE’s Natalya appeared on this week’s NXT 2.0 episode, attacking Cora Jade. 

The attack came after Jade was in the ring for a promo segment. She discussed how she had looked up to stars like Natalya, AJ Lee, and Sasha Banks, and that she would one day be a champion in WWE like they were. 

Natalya’s music then hit. She came to the ring to a big reaction from the crowd at the WWE Performance Center, becoming emotional at the response. 

Natalya and Jade then discussed Cora sending Natalya a Twitter message when she was a child, with Natalya following up by pointing Jade out in the crowd at a house show.

After giving Jade a pep talk, Natalya said that if Jade is the future, the future is bleak. Shen then slapped Jade before applying a Sharpshooter. Officials ran out to break the two up. 

Later in the show, Natalya walked through a backstage area and declared that she was putting the NXT locker room on notice. Tatum Paxley told Natalya that she had been trying to prove herself to Diamond Mine and others in NXT. Natalya then said that she would have her chance to prover herself. A match between the two was then announced for next week’s NXT 2.0 episode.
