WWE Superstar Natalya recently made a threat to Rhea Ripley ahead of their match at WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking in a video that she recently tweeted, the Canadian Superstar revealed that she plans to make Ripley ‘respect’ her this weekend (via Fightful):
“Just want to get something off my chest that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about, just from the moment that I first got drafted to Raw until now” she began.

“I was so excited. I was excited for a fresh start, and when I went out to save Dana, maybe Rhea was right. Maybe I was trying to save myself. It’s hard to not see comments online, waves and waves of comments that I’ve read on Twitter and people’s podcasts that have talked about it and just saying, ’˜Natty’s not on Rhea’s level and she doesn’t have Rhea’s momentum’” Natalya continued.
“But I started thinking about it, and I was like, maybe they’re right. Right now, I’m not on Rhea’s level. I don’t have her momentum, and the truth is, I’ve never been a favourite. I’ve never been a favourite, and it’s something I’ve struggled with, and I’ve fought against” she admitted.
“I haven’t lasted this long in WWE by not fighting tooth and nail for every single thing I have because I know that I’ve never been a favourite. Rhea can mock me, she can beat me up, and she might even beat me. But at Night of Champions, I can assure you that she is going to respect me. She’s gonna respect me,” Nattie concluded.
