Your SummerSlam match for the Raw Women’s Championship will be Becky Lynch vs. Natalya, and it’s shaping up to be a very, very personal affair. That’s somewhat surprising for a match involving Natalya — The Hart Dungeon graduate is about as respectful as it gets — but The Man did more than enough to bring out The Queen of Harts’ inner trash-talker, confronting the former SmackDown Women’s Champion moments after she won the Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match that sent her to SummerSlam.
Natalya had certainly shown her in-ring bonafides before she went face-to-face with Becky, eliminating Naomi and Alexa Bliss en route to victory (Alexa eliminated Carmella to score the first ouster of the match). And yet, The Man seemed more than a little unimpressed with her new challenger, declaring that she was the special something Natalya’s career needed and dispelling any notion that their match was going to be some kind of contest among friends.
The Queen of Harts took the hint, firing back with some trash-talk of her own — “I’m gonna rip that greasy orange mop off your head” was just a sampling — and going nose-to-nose with the champion in a heated confrontation WWE officials were quick to break up before they came to blows. As much as these two respect each other, it’s fair to say they liked each other a lot more before this match was made. Much like the challenger herself, that’s about as old-school as it gets.
