Nattie Comments on Her Wanting To Work In Behind-The-Scenes Roles In WWE

Soundsphere Magazine held a recent interview with Nattie. One of the topics discussed included Nattie’s thoughts about her not just wanting to be a wrestler in WWE and wants to branch out into other behind the scenes roles in the company.

“Bully Ray, Bubba Dudley, he said to me, ‘Nattie, you’ve already paid your dues, why do you keep paying them?’ and I’m like, ‘because the rent’s always due’. There’s never going to be a moment as long as I’m actively wrestling that I’m not going to be paying my dues. I don’t want to just be a wrestler in WWE, I want to be everything. I want to be behind the camera. I want to be working with the girls, I want to be working with the guys. I want to be writing promos, directing, creating, producing. I see myself building stories far, far, far beyond what I’m doing in the ring.”
