Natalya says she likes training with Miyu Yamashita.
Natalya is coming off a resounding loss to SmackDown Women's Champion Rhea Ripley, who dominated the veteran in 69 seconds at WWE Night of Champions. Now, Natalya is looking to bounce back by qualifying for the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. She'll have the chance to do so when she faces Zoey Stark on the June 5 episode of WWE Raw.
In a tweet, Natalya shared a clip in which she can be seen training with Miyu Yamashita. She thanked the TJPW star for coming to her ring and pushing her through some battle wounds ahead of her match with Stark.
I’m not sure why these women want to train with me after the last week I’ve had, but I’m so grateful to you @miyu_tjp for coming to my ring and pushing me through some battle wounds. Next week against Zoey on Raw will be a litmus test. Forward is forward— pic.twitter.com/Z4bbVZNHU1

Speaking with Dark Puroresu Flowsion, Natalya was asked about training with Yamashita.
“She’s been awesome and she’s very open to learning! I love wrestling with her," Natalya said.
Yamashita has been active on the independent scene in recent months; she has wrested for House of Glory, AIW, and Prestige, among other companies.
In an interview with Fightful, Yamashita expressed her interest in facing Athena. Click here to see what she had to say.
