    Glad Natalya has finally been picking up some wins <3

    Someone on twitter said that Khali, Hornswoggle, Epico and Primo were all on commentary so if that’s true, I suggest watching it on mute. The same person also timed the match to be 2:44 I believe.

    I was at the taping and the only people who were at commentary were Primo/Epico and Hornswoggle.

    Khali was her manager.

    Hornswoggle imitated Rosa’s dance after Rosa did her little dance over Natalya and that allowed Nattie to counter Rosa into the Sharpshooter FTW.

    The timing was about right too. Short match but at least Natalya won..?

    redsandman99 Reply:

    Well at least Khali isn’t on commentary. Though the other three plus Cole and Josh makes for waaaay too many people. And yeah, I’m totally down with a Nattie victory.

    Cool I enjoy watching talented individuals destroying those who can’t wrestle to save their life.

    me too Rosa is almost in her mid thirties she trained alot but she doesen’t have it SHE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BY paige or sasha/emma

    theprincedann Reply:

    Not at all. She should be kept out of matches, unless its battle royals or comedy matches etc.

    Which the WWE has done. She is beautiful, a great valet, and has appeal to Latin America and Spain etc. She should stick around, I’m a huge Rosa fan.

    Lita-Sault-666 Reply:

    @THEPRINCEDANN – Exactly. She’s a talented young lady, and she use to be pretty good back in FCW, I remember a few good matches at least, but play to her strengths. Singles matches are not one of those so only use her in a singles bout if it’s the climax or part of a storyline – which in this case we know it is. hopefully they play up to that on the commentary.

    Jillfan1 Reply:

    no offense she is pretty but what’s it to the wwe universe all she does is dance around they should atleast have her interfere as a melina ala 2005-06 she just is kinda bland

    Raekon Reply:

    She was called up as a jobber in 2009 and stayed the divisions jobber since then.
    That’s also the main reason she is restricted from using her real moveset and all she does are like 2 moves before she gets pinned.
    So it has nothing to do with talent but rather the way they use you.

    redsandman99 Reply:

    While I can agree that Rosa can actually do more moves than she does on the main shows, I honestly don’t think she does them particularly well. Something just doesn’t totally click no matter what match it is I’m watching of hers. That’s just my opinion though.

    JamieKym Reply:

    there’s a difference between someone who can’t wrestle to save their life and someone who is used the wrong way. When has Rosa botched other than bouncing out of a corner?

     
  5. Would have been better if rosa got the win just to piss everyone off come on wwe do it next week LMAO….

    No

    art Reply:

    yes could you imagine the outrage….

    moogle Reply:

    you gotta admit, as much as I love Nattie, her losing would piss people off so bad, which is what a heel is for

    TheLadySamantha Reply:

    Except it wouldn’t be Rosa that people would be angry at for winning.

    JamieKym Reply:

    I’ve would’ve been weak if it said rosa won by Pinfall cleanly.

     
  6. Ugh I’m so over Khali and Horny, two of the most annoying characters ever! Nattie should be on her own, fighting Kaitlyn for the title! Bet they would have some great matches together!

    lucky1now Reply:

    I agree they are too annoying

     
  7. Raekon

    So with other words, Rosa will enter the ring, get beat up, will do a submission or give a slap since she is not allowed to use 99% of her moveset and end up into the sharpshooter to end the match…. -.-

    So sick and tired of her misusage in the ring through all the years on the main roster.

    The only positive thing of this is that they keep nattie and rosa in a small side feud that gives them more screentime.

    TheeEric Reply:

    It’s not that she’s not allowed… it’s that she doesn’t have the ability to perform them correctly.

    Crazy_J Reply:

    I don’t wanna really stand up for Rosa, but in the past she did seem to work better in the ring. IDK if she is lazy with it now days or if she is being watered down intentionally, but she’s not the same as she was.

    TehKardashianKing Reply:

    I think she’s just been intentionally watered down.

    art Reply:

    her fcw matches prove rosa can wrestle & well,she just cant do it in 3 minutes because its rushed…

    Raekon Reply:

    @THEEERIC
    Rosa has showed in many occassions in OVW, FCW and Houseshows that she can wrestle and that she can have decent matches when they let her use her moveset.

    She was called up as a jobber in 2009 on the main roster and has stuck in that position since then.

    Her mic work and segments were and still are good (check the video of hers before the little helpers battle royal in which she cuts a promo against Natalya).

    However, she never were given a chance and were always stuck in the position of being the jobber that everyone pinned on the main roster with the only exception being the match against Layla she won because of Michelles interfernce as a DQ.

    That was also her only singles win on the main roster and the main reason she got it was to further the feud between Layla and Michelle.

    As a sideinfo: someone that “can’t wrestle”, doesn’t work as a jobber at all, nor does he/she takes the bumps Rosa has taken on the main roster.

    In several battle royals through the years, she was the only diva to go over the top rope aswell.

    Yes she isn’t a wrestling master but she can work well when they give hre the opportunity to do so.

    JamieKym Reply:

    @THEERIC I seriously want to slap you right now. you’re saying someone “can’t wrestle” because you HEARD some stupid fanboy say it and has probably never seen her wrestle on TV.

    Good there is no out of nowhere Tamina vs. Kaitlyn at the rumble. Too early. I am counting on random divas tag team match at the rumble.

    DIVASKO Reply:

    Yes i hope we have Divas match in Royal Rumble.

    Lita-Sault-666 Reply:

    Random divas tag match / #1 Contenders battle royal
    **No pre-show battle royal & for the title to be defended on the same night though**

     
  9. That’s cool to see Rosa back in single action !

     
  10. Blac Chyna

    Rosa actually can wrestle its the wwe fault i seen her fcw matches she not the best but she has skills

    SweeneyTodd Reply:

    She is a wrestler since 2006 and her matches are poor.

    art Reply:

    rosa can wrestle its just she cant find a way to break her jobber title…

    Acrant Reply:

    No, she sucks. Seriously, she’s botched something almost everytime they dare let her on RAW.

    Lets stop putting it on booking or WWE. Rosa isn’t good.

    Raekon Reply:

    @Acrant

    Of course she “botches” everything when people blame the botches of everyone else on her, everytime she is even in the building. <_<

    Like in the last match with Natalya on Smackdown, Natalya took too long to execute her move, Rosa stands there waiting to take the hit and people go immediately "wow! Rosa botched again!".

    On Raw in the battle royal, Beth is supposed to atomic drop her but slips and spears her down "Wow! Rosa botched again!".

    I know everyone has its favourites but seriously people, the unfairness some people are showing is getting beyond tiring.

    DIVASKO Reply:

    I’ve seen her matches in FCW and OVW and are horrible, i dont know what you understand by good wrestler,anyways i love her like a manager of Primo and Epico(they are good wrestler).

    JamieKym Reply:

    what matches of these are “horrible”.

     
  11. TehKardashianKing

    I want Nattie to leave Khali and Hornswoggle now; I can’t take her seriously when she’s with ‘em.

    VarsityBaseDude Reply:

    Agreed

     
  12. I was there and it was unbearable to watch. Rosa should stay out of the ring and this is it for Natalya, sorry but she will be release either the beginning of spring or fall.

    NY Pollard Reply:

    I think they’ll keep her around because she can put over younger divas and well…because of her name too. She’s basically the Molly Holly or Victoria of this generation so I think she’s safe for now. Well did anything happen with Kaitlyn, AJ, Vickie or the other women?

    shannymac Reply:

    YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH ABOUT NATTIE BEING RELEASED!

     
  13. puppies

    I like the Natalya/Rosa feud, it’s something different and we haven’t had valet vs valet in a while. I know, I know, Natalya is “better than this” but at least she’s getting TV time and picking up wins.

     
  14. HeelEveRulez

    I know its out of the topic but isnt there gonna be a divas match at RR?WWE made pre-show but there isnt still a divas match going on.

    Oh and if i comment on this i think its gonna be interesting you know when was the last time Rosa got a one-on-one match?I think it was last year with K2 and because(of course duh!)Natalya can beat the hell out K2 i am sure they will deliver a better match just looking forward to it!

    redsandman99 Reply:

    The script a couple weeks ago said there would be apparently but that was about the same time Eve and Kaitlyn were supposed to face each other at the ppv instead of Raw. They could still put something on though. I’d rather it be a tag match though than a title match now and use the tag match to set up a contender.

    TheGamergirl22 Reply:

    Tamina and (insert heel diva,would say AJ but that wont happen) vs Layla and Kaitlyn

    Layla costs the match Tamina pins Kaitlyn and beats her up post match demanding a title match (she never got a rematch), while Layla runs away with the belt with a worried look on her face. IDK what insert heel diva here does.

    Then both realize what happen and gets pissed and runs after Layla

    There a triple threat feud

    TheGamergirl22 Reply:

    If it was AJ, Tamina chases after Layla and AJ skips around Kaitlyn who is hurt laughing and Light it up plays

    There no promo and it has a lot of story, but WWE creative won’t do that

     
  15. shannymac

    OMG, Nattie won a match! OH HAPPY DAY!

    puppies Reply:

    She’s won quite a few recently.

     
  16. JD Sensations

    Nattie is on quite a winning streak!! :D good to see.

    I hope we get a random Divas tag at the Royal Rumble – Kaitlyn, Layla, Natalya, Paige and Sasha Banks vs Tamina, Aksana, Alicia, Emma and Rosa/Summer

     
  17. k2evecrew

    Happy that Natalya’s face again & on a winning streak , I’m not try a hear hornswoggle & epico /primo argue while they’re having the match though

     
  18. VarsityBaseDude

    Good Natalya is winning. They are still not using her right though. First she farts, becomes Eve’s lackey type, and now in the new oddities? They should bring back the Hart Foundation and have her manage them… push them as a major threat to all titles!

    VarsityBaseDude Reply:

    and her being a threat to a title as well!

    VarsityBaseDude Reply:

    or have her form the newest Divas of Doom with Tamina :)

    TheGamergirl22 Reply:

    and not loose by 1 minute roll ups, But would like to see how Nattie takes on Kaitlyn’s spear.

    Would be cool is she can counter the like jump and do the roll up but instead of the pin she does the sharpshooter

    TheGamergirl22 Reply:

    Have a stable with Paige like their all 2-3 generation.

     
  19. aldo

    Yeeeah! Natalya winning! Rosa and Natalya are 2 of my favorite divas, Rosa has the charima and Natalya is the best diva right now! Looking forward for the match! :D

     
  20. redsandman99

    Just watched the match. Khali is actually on commentary though he don’t say much. But with five other people talking over each other which was really distracting.

    puppies Reply:

    How was the match?

    redsandman99 Reply:

    It was okay. A bit better than what I was expecting given my lack of interest or faith in Rosa as a wrestler but still nothing too great.

     
  21. jim462

    Was glad to see Natalya go over and win for a change. But josh Matthews & JBL did not even call the match not one move or hold they were more interested in that bs at the announcers desk with Khali Hornsdwoogle Primo & Epico so disrespectful I hope Natalya jumps to TNA when her contract ends where she will get some respect
