Natalya Fires Back with Explicit Response to Becky Lynch Telling Her to Bring the ‘Nattie’ Persona to RAW

Becky Lynch just threw down a challenge on Instagram—and Natalya didn’t hold back in her response.

The WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion reposted Natalya’s video announcing their upcoming title match on the August 18 episode of WWE RAW in Philadelphia. But Lynch didn’t just promote the bout—she taunted her opponent by calling out the version of Natalya she really wants to fight. In the caption, Becky wrote:

“Bring this version or Nattie. I’m sick of Natalya.
Ps. I never forget”

For those not in the know, “Nattie” is the more hardcore, stripped-down persona Natalya portrays at non-WWE wrestling events—usually with a darker edge, no makeup, and a brutal in-ring style. It’s clear Becky wants to fight that version, not the polished WWE vet fans usually see.

Natalya wasted no time responding. She took to Twitter and dropped a blunt message that made her feelings clear:

“Becky doesn’t get to dictate who the FCK I am.”*

That heated exchange just added fuel to a match that was already loaded with history. Natalya’s never been one to shy away from intensity, and now with Becky Lynch practically daring her to go darker, Philly might be in for something way more brutal than expected.

With titles on the line and egos clashing hard, RAW this week is going to be personal. Lynch wants the no-nonsense Nattie. Natalya says no one controls her identity. Something’s got to give.
