The Hart Dynasty, led by Natalya, continued their winning ways over the oddball team of Maria, Matt Hardy and The Great Khali this week on WWE Superstars. After beating the trio last week on SmackDown, the Harts handed the group another loss. I’m sure Uncle Bret being on Raw has nothing to do with their recent winning ways. Watch below:
So after some men’s wrestling — yuck, who wants to see that? — we get to the women folk. Khali was in the ring with David Hart Smith, pretty much making him his bitch. Smith runs to his corner and Natalya tactfully tags in due to the mixed tag rules which mean Khali must tag out to Maria, allowing the Dynasty to re-gain momentum in the match.
Natalya tags in and runs at the opposing corner, knocking Maria off the apron forcefully. Natalya then throws Maria back into the ring but as she gets on her feet and runs at Natalya, Maria ducks and then hits her with a legscissors without actually wrapping her legs around Natalya’s head. She’s full of tricks, that Maria. The Diva of the Year then begins laying in the kicks to Natalya, all the while with her arms flailing in the air before trying to throw Nattie into the corner. Natalya counters, throwing Maria into the corner and runs at her but Maria fights back using the ropes to hoist herself up for a dropkick of sorts but Natalya manages to grab her feet, places them between the ring ropes and then smashes Maria head first onto the canvas.
Nattie drags Maria across the ring by the hair, lifting her up a little bit and then using her boot to slam her back down. Natalya then applies a submission move, driving her knee into Maria’s back. Maria begins rising to her feet and fights back with a butt bump. Maria tries to steer herself towards her corner but is slammed back down to the mat hair-first by Natalya. Nattie hits a scoop slam and then steps on Maria before going to her corner to taunt her tag team partners. Natalya chops Khali across the chest but it doesn’t do anything to the big man. Khali then grabs Natalya’s arm before Hart Smith gets into the ring and runs at Khali with a big boot, knocking him off the apron.
With the referee distracted by Smith, Tyson Kidd gets into the ring and is about to hit a move on Maria but she wriggles free, slapping him and manages to tag in Matt Hardy.
Hardy goes for the Twist of Fate but Natalya grabs him by the hair. Maria comes up behind her and hits her with the bulldog. Later, Smith and Kidd hit the Hart Attack on Hardy for the win.
Again, there isn’t much to expect from the ladies in six tag matches but it was okay. Perhaps a little sloppier than the match on SmackDown last week due to Maria getting in more offense rather than being dominated by Natalya. I said last week I’d like to see a singles match between these two but now I’m not so sure. I just don’t think Maria has a lot to offer when she’s on the offensive but when she’s being beaten down and stuff, she plays that role incredibly well.

“Amazing” leg scissors by Maria…
I’m happy for Hart Dynasty and even if they are getting pushed because of Bret, I honestly don’t care. They’re push is probably the only good thing with the return of Bret to Raw.
That’s basically why Bret is back. He wants to help them out while in WWE. I’m sure hoping that we will be seeing a tag team match soon. Natalya should be on her own after they get the titles and chase gold as well.
Watching Natalya wrestle is always a treat. As for Maria, she has the ugliest headscissors takedown. It’s been her signature move for like 5 years and still doesn’t do it perfectly. I’ve seen Ashley do better lol
Oh god! I mean Maria is soooo sloppy when shes on offensive! The headscissors was just ridiculous, actually made me laugh and her kicks look there not even connecting? My grandmother could kick better than her….. I actually realy like Maria, but please WWE KEEP HER OUT OF THE RING. Unless of course shes being someone’s ragdoll. She couldn’t even mess that up
Everyone else was great here. Go Nattie! :D
I actually liked Maria and Nattie’s exchange,even Maria’s offense is less annoying than usual.
I think Maria coud hit that headscizzors beautifully if she just actually tried….
I can’t believe this was Maria’s last match. I love Maria’s WWE personality so much. She’s always been a fantastic, entertaining addition to the show. I’ve grown to like her even more by following her on twitter. We’ll miss you, Maria.
Sidenote: Natalya was FANTASTIC in every way in this match! I’ve never really been a fan of hers, but she’s really making it hard not to be. Loving her now.
Am I the only one that doesn’t see Hart Dynasty getting a push? If the WWE really were doing one based around Bret Hart, they should have had them attack Batista backstage on SD! 2 weeks ago in retaliation. They could have also did it last week when Batista walked out on his EC qualifying match. With either version that would have turned the Hart Dynasty face and they then could have had a feud with the Awesome Bastards* (aka Show-Miz) for the unified tag titles.
* If you’re wondering how I came up with Miz and Show’s tag name, we all know The Miz is awesome and Bastard comes from Big Show’s old nickname “BIg Nasty Bastard”.
Natalya got the pin again, maybe they are finally going to push her!
i doubt it but we can all dream :S
@vonVile hmmm Awesome Bastards… remember WWE’s PG 13 rating. I wouldn’t hold your breath for this haha
i think did okay in this match and not bad all..her last match anyway
i belive she will be greatly missed afterall
