Natalya extends WWE NXT run to work with Jaida Parker

Natalya requested to extend her time in WWE NXT to collaborate with newcomer Jaida Parker. In an interview on "Busted Open After Dark," Natalya shared that she approached Shawn Michaels about working with Parker, whom she believes has exceptional talent. Their rivalry began on May 5, and Natalya described Parker as having an edge akin to wrestling star Jacob Fatu. They have faced each other three times, with Parker winning two matches, including a submission victory at NXT Heatwave. Natalya feels her efforts have elevated Parker's performance significantly despite not knowing she would touch on sensitive issues for her opponent.
