Natalya has been experiencing some rough times in WWE recently. The record-breaking female Superstar recently lost a match against the debutant Kiana James on Raw. Following the loss, The Queen of Harts realized that enough was enough and that it was time for a change.

On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, Natalya squared off against Kiana James, who was drafted to Raw in the recently concluded 2024 WWE Draft. As the veteran went for the Sharpshooter, the debutant escaped and won the match with the 401K. Enraged and saddened by the loss, she told Sonya Deville, who met her backstage, that it was time to shake things up.

It’s noteworthy that this statement mirrors one made by her uncle Owen Hart during his wrestling career. Over the past few months, Nattie has been regularly appearing on NXT, mentoring the young prospect, Karmen Petrovic. The duo recently won a match against Lola Vice and Shayna Baszler, resulting in the former turning on the latter.

Almost 24 hours after her loss to James on Raw, she made a surprise appearance on NXT, replacing her friend Petrovic and fighting Izzy Dame. Although it looked like Dame was in control, the veteran showed her experience and picked up the victory. It’ll be intriguing to see if she makes an appearance on the upcoming episode of Raw and whether there’s a follow-up on her character change.

Natalya expressed her desire to make her own Hart Bloodline family

The Bloodline saga stands as one of the most compelling storylines in WWE history. The Anoa’i family boasts a rich history, with numerous Samoan wrestlers who have graced the WWE ring over the years. As such, Natalya expressed her honest opinion on one of the most dominant factions in an interview.

While speaking on WWE’s The Bump, Natalya was asked about the significant changes in The Bloodline. Solo Sikoa assumed leadership of the dominant faction, introducing Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa as its newest members. She stated that the Hart family and the Samoan family are two of the biggest families in WWE history.

It’s the Harts and Samoans, I think we’re in a competition, and you never know, maybe we’ll create our own little Hart Bloodline story.
