Natalya comments on Naomi not being medically cleared to compete Monday night on WWE RAW.

On a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, RAW Superstar Natalya spoke on the situation where Naomi wasn’t medically cleared to compete on RAW earlier this week and made it clear that when the Women’s World Champion is ready to talk about it, she will.

“Especially for the locker room, it’s one of those things that, well, somebody will know what’s going on, but in this situation, like, Naomi is a really close friend of mine, but I just feel like it’s a time right now where she needs space.

“So usually when something crazy is going on, I don’t think it’s crazy in a bad way, but I think that, like, obviously, it’s private, it’s personal. Nobody ever wants to go down with an injury,” Natalya said. “Knowing how hard Naomi has fought to get this spot that she’s in.

Natalya reflects on Naomi’s Money in the Bank Cash-In

“She’s at the top of the division. She has this groundbreaking moment at Money in the Bank. She wins it, and then she cashes in at the second-ever all-women’s pay-per-view, she cashes in at Evolution, which is a great way to cash in. I mean, every girl was at Gorilla, hugging her and crying, and every guy was too. Everybody was just so happy for her, so excited for her.

“So it is crazy, because she is so excited. As far as I know, the last time we talked, she’s like, ‘I know what I have, and I’m so grateful for it. I can’t believe all this is happening.’ But, I feel like she’s so, so beyond grateful for it. So whatever is going on right now, it’s definitely like, there’s a part of me that wants to be like, ‘Hey, Trin, like, what’s going on? Tell me, give me the scoop.’

“But the other part of me is like, sometimes when people are going through something, or they’re dealing with, like I said, an injury or some extenuating situation, I feel like she will talk about it when she’s ready to talk about it, but I know she would have loved to have wrestled IYO on Monday.” [H/T: Fightful]
