Natalya: "Naomi is my favorite opponent"

Natalya is one of the most veteran wrestlers in WWE. "The Queen of Harts" has been working for the company for almost two decades, during which she has set half a dozen Guinness records, including the woman with the most matches fought in WWE, as well as being the female superstar with the most victories in the company.

Throughout her 18 years as a professional in WWE, Natalya has faced a multitude of opponents, from rising talents and established superstars to legends of the business. And out of all those matches, there is one in particular that she remembers with great affection: her victory over Naomi at SummerSlam 2017 to become the SmackDown Women's Champion.

"By the way, Naomi is my favorite. She might be my favorite opponent. Wow, it was so much fun to wrestle with her. I love her. I love her so much. The night I found out I would win the title, Naomi was so happy for me. Even though she would lose the title, she still celebrated with me. She has always been very generous and has supported me a lot. She's like a sister to me. A sister for life," Natalya said on Ring the Belle.

Currently, Naomi is on maternity leave. The wrestler revealed she was pregnant shortly before WWE Clash in Paris, where she was scheduled to defend the Women's World Championship against Stephanie Vaquer, who would eventually capture the vacant gold by defeating IYO SKY at Wrestlepalooza.

On the other hand, Natalya is experiencing one of the most enjoyable stages of her career. Despite her sporadic appearances on WWE's television programming, the Canadian has been able to participate in other promotions such as GCW, NWA, and Lucha Libre AAA.
