Natalya returns to WWE on Raw
Natalya wrestled her first WWE match since June on Monday’s Raw in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in her return to the company.
Appearing as the surprise mystery partner alongside Zelina Vega & Lyra Valkyria in a trios match on Monday’s Raw, Natalya secured the win for her side against Pure Fusion Collective’s Zoey Stark, Sonya Deville, and Shayna Baszler, tapping out Stark with a Sharpshooter.
It was the first match in WWE for Natalya since a June 4 NXT bout against Izzi Dame, and the first since the longtime WWE star reportedly inked a new multi-year WWE contract.
It was a big night for Neidhart/Hart family lore, as Natalya’s uncle Bret Hart made a rare WWE appearance on Raw in an interaction with Gunther, then again with Natalya in a backstage segment following her victory. Monday’s show was at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, longtime home to the Hart Family dynasty.
