Natalya aspires to become modern-day Fabulous Moolah in WWE
Summary

Natalya, currently showcasing her character in WWE's NXT, expressed a desire to emulate the Fabulous Moolah by becoming a prominent heel. Speaking on Busted Open After Dark, she emphasized her need for collective support to elevate her status within the industry. While Moolah, a multi-time Hall of Famer, has a controversial legacy due to serious allegations against her, Natalya remains focused on establishing a powerful presence in wrestling.

WWE faced backlash in 2018 over Moolah’s name being associated with the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal, leading to a rebranding of the event.
