Natalya wants to face The Ace.
Speaking with Emily Mae for Sportskeeda Wrestling ahead of WWE WrestleMania XL, Natalya noted that she wanted to wrestle everyone, and she playfully said that she would love to face Hiroshi Tanahashi. She then stated that she has always had a crush on him.
"I want to wrestle everyone. I want to wrestle everyone. Listen, I would love to have a match with Tanahashi if I could [laughs]. I know it’s crazy and that came from left field, but I’ve always had this huge crush on Tanahashi [laughs]. I’m like, he’s so good. It’s his confidence, it’s his presence, it’s the way he holds himself. I’m like, he’s so good. Sorry TJ, I just said I had a crush on Tanahashi [laughs] Listen, we’re allowed to have little crushes. But the way he performs, he’s the best. He’s the ace," Natalya said.
Tanahashi was named the President and Representative Director of NJPW in December, and he remains active as a wrestler.
Natalya also expressed her interest in facing TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace. Check out her comments here.
