Natalya and Charlotte will meet this Sunday night for the Women's Championship in a clash between two ladies with deep wrestling backgrounds.
The two women's wrestlers will go at it for the richest prize in their division in a Submission Match at Extreme Rules live from the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Both ladies have wrestling in their blood as Natalya is part of the famous Hart Family and uses her uncle Bret Hart's sharpshooter as her finishing move, while Charlotte is the daughter of WWE Hall of Fame and 16-time World Champion Ric Flair.
"The Nature Boy's'" daughter even uses the Figure Eight finisher, a modification of the famed Figure Four used by her dad.
Given whom their families are, Charlotte and Natalya have faced some criticism from people who believe they're only in the spot they are because of where they come from. Natalya doesn't care about the noise and won't apologize for it.
"I hear certain, not a lot of girls, but some people are like, 'Well, I'm sorry I wasn't born into this,' but I was born into this and I'm not sorry about it," Natalya told Sporting News. "To me, it wasn't an easy ride to be born into a big, crazy world of wrestling."
Nattie and Charlotte also closed "Monday Night RAW" this week with a contract signing for their clash. It was another effort to get the new women's division over and Natalya said she was happy to be a part of it.
"It was shocking to find out. I got to the arena and then we were told that you guys are on last. We were like, 'Oh my God.'" she said. "Not only are we main-eventing 'Raw' but we're closing 'Raw.' It was surreal. And it's still surreal. I was on my drive last night from Greensboro to Greenville and I was just processing it all, taking it all in and going wow. I can't believe I did that.
"Just being able to hold up that Women's Championship and to think about wrestling for 15 years and after going through the highest of highs, the lowest of lows. Being in that ring with Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Ric Flair and Charlotte Flair. You have the McMahons, the Harts and the Flairs and it doesn't get any bigger than that in wrestling when you think about wrestling hierarchy and royalty. Our families have done so much over the years for this."
Natalya may hoist the championship once again, for real this time, after Extreme Rules.
