Paul Heyman motivates Natalya & Tamina on Talking Smack to get a WrestleMania match

Natalya & Tamina were guests on this weekend’s Talking Smack. During this, Natalya cut a promo stating she is tired of being a doormat and tired of being the nice one or the politically correct one.

Natalya says, “We are that directive. We are the directive. Is that good enough for you Kayla [Braxton], was that a good enough answer? Was that politically correct enough for you? Am I being sweet enough, kind enough, awesome enough? Am I pretty enough? Am I enough for you anymore? Or should I knock on Vince’s door and ask him what the hell he wants from me? Because I am tired of being a good girl. Being a good girl, being a doormat, got me nowhere, and doormats get walked on. Bitch. Did I answer your question?”

As of the time of this writing, there is no tag team match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships for the big two-night event coming in less than a week. This is obviously going to change with the melee of tag teams we saw get into it on Friday Night SmackDown.

This added to the rumor that the first night of Mania will see a number one contender tag team match between multiple teams. The winner of that match will face the champions, Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler, on Night Two.

Natalya defeated Baszler in mere seconds on last Friday’s SmackDown and then after the tag teams were done battling it was Natalya & Tamina as the last one’s standing as the champions retreated up the ramp.

After Natalya’s response to Braxton, the Talking Smack host tried to calm her down by explaining she can see how passionate she is. This is where Paul Heyman stepped in.

Heyman says, “You know I love you right?” Natalya responds with, “I hope.” He continues, “If I haven’t proven to you over the years, with all the support that I’ve given you. With the 3 A.M. text messages back and forth, I love you. I love you as if you were my own sister. I’m gonna tell you something from the bottom of my heart, cut the shit, please. Come on. Stop bitching and moaning and complaining and kvetching about not being in WrestleMania and do something about it. And if knocking on Vince McMahon’s door, or kicking down Vince McMahon’s door, or stretching Vince McMahon down on the ground doesn’t get the job done then smack around every single person on the female roster until there’s no roster left and the [you will be] only females left to be on WrestleMania to represent a female empowerment movement. Just eliminate all the competition that stops you from being on WrestleMania and there shouldn’t be competition for the two of you being on WrestleMania because you have earned your spot on WrestleMania for years, and years, and years and it’s not like you just fell off a cliff. You deserve it and you’ve earned it now.”

He continues by adding in the legacy of both Natalya and Tamina as a motivator to get them to do what they need to do to get on the WrestleMania card and to the thop of the division.

“If your father [Natalya’s] saw you this way he would pull the hair off his chin and the chin off his face and if your grandfather saw what you were doing he’d beat the crap out of your father for raising you this way. And I won’t even say what your father [Tamina’s] would do if he saw you this way. Do something about it, damn it. Stop bitching, moaning, and complaining. You wanna be on WrestleMania, get your asses on WrestleMania. Impose your will as you’ve done for years. That’s what your family and her family has always been about. You’re a member of the Hart family. You’re a member of a dynasty. If they left you off WrestleMania wrongfully, get your asses on WrestleMania. Okay?”

Tamina then gets in the face of Heyman and responds with, “O-Kay.”
