During a recent interview on Busted Open Radio, WWE Superstar Natalya discussed her NWA debut. She challenged NWA Women’s World Champion Kenzie Page for the title. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Natalya on the experience of competing in NWA at the former ECW Arena: “That experience was unbelievable. I wanted to do Bloodsport because I wanted to show a different side of me that I feel I needed to awaken. The match for NWA at the ECW Arena, that match was me trying to remind everybody that the performance I gave at Bloodsport, the masterclass performance I gave at Bloodsport, that was not a fluke.”

On what she did with Kenzie Paige for the match: “What we did for NWA was even better than what I did at Bloodsport. For me, I’m fighting for my life. It really makes me want to wake up in the morning. When I was working out, I was reliving that match. It just lights my fire in a different way. I wanted to remind people that what I did at Bloodsport was a masterclass, and what I did at NWA was even better than that.”

On how the entire crowd was on their feet for the match: “To have the entire arena on their feet and see pictures…I don’t know where you can watch the match, but everybody is on their feet. They had just done 18 matches prior because they were filming a large TV taping. We were the 18th match and people were on their feet because I want to engage them in a different way.”

Kenzie Paige defeated Natalya to retain her title in the matchup.
