A couple weeks ago, Ruby Riott destroyed a pair of sunglasses belonging to Natalya’s late father, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart. The ensuing grudge grew so heated that Riott and Natalya got into a brawl during the Survivor Series Kickoff and got kicked off the Raw Women’s Survivor Series team. On Raw, The Queen of Harts finally dropped the hammer.
Natalya’s gritty victory over Ruby was a testament to her heart above all things, though her in-ring savvy deserves a healthy dose of the credit as well. Ruby characteristically relied on Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan at ringside to keep the match in her favor, and they indeed saved Ruby from certain defeat by distracting the ref when she was ensnared in the Sharpshooter. But Natalya reversed Ruby’s roll-up attempt into a pinning combo of her own. The former SmackDown Women’s Champion kept her opponent down for three, and for the first time in a while, Natalya has something to smile about.
