Natalya Talks Total Divas Not Being Allowed To Win The Divas Title, Working With WWE's Future Divas

Both Nikki Bella and Cameron have said in recent interviews that no Total Divas cast member can have a run with the Divas Championship. In an interview with SLAM! Wrestling, Natalya addressed the claim and said she doesn't see it as a big deal.

"I've heard that rumor. It's hard to explain it because every single day in the WWE things are changing. Remember that anything can happen in the WWE. Who would've have thought that Bret Hart would ever come back?" Natalya said. "Would I like to be Divas champion again? For sure, but it doesn't define me. About six months ago, I felt I wasn't worth as much if I wasn't Divas champion. But now, it's not what's making me wake up in the morning. Since I started doing Total Divas, my life has changed is so many ways that I wasn't expecting. And you know, tomorrow, all the rules can change again."

Natalya has been spending a lot of time at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, assisting the company's next generation of female performers. On this, she says, "I go to NXT whenever I can, to get the opportunity to work with the girls like Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Bailey and Alexa Bliss. There's a lot of very good girls out there. It's like if I'm in a candy shop. You see them from where they started."

Natalya says former independent wrestler Sara Del Rey (Sara Amato), who trains the NXT Divas, deserves credit for their success.

"When I got hired by the WWE seven or eight years ago, I was told that I wasn't 'diva' enough, that I was too much of a wrestler. And Sara has been through this as well. But she's able to take that wrestling background she has and putting it to and play with the Divas on NXT. So they have this different flavor from a girl who has a worldwide experience and who's a tremendous wrestler," Natalya remarked.

Natalya also spoke on Tyson Kidd showing his "snotty" side on NXT, wrestling Charlotte and more. The full interview is available here.
