Tonight at the WWE King & Queen of the Ring event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, fans will witness Nia Jax and Lyra Valkyria battling it out in the Queen of the Ring final, having emerged victorious in their respective brackets on “WWE SmackDown” and “WWE Raw.”

Ahead of the final showdown, WWE veteran Natalya shared her insights on the Queen of the Ring tournament during an appearance on “The Bump,” despite her own early elimination from the competition.

Expressing her appreciation for the tournament’s impact on the women’s division in WWE, Natalya highlighted the excitement of witnessing fresh matchups and the emergence of new talents like Lyra Valkyria.

“This Queen of Ring tournament has been such an incredible thing for the women’s division in WWE,” Natalya remarked, commending Valkyria’s swift transition from “WWE NXT” to the main roster and her impressive performance in the tournament.

“I was so happy for Lyra… I think that Lyra was really able to find something inside herself that she might not have even known that she had.

And now she’s taking that momentum to Saudi Arabia. That’s what this tournament has done, is really bring out the best in each other,” she added.

Furthermore, Natalya lauded Nia Jax for her standout performances in the tournament, acknowledging her as a formidable force in the women’s division.

“Nia Jax is doing the best work of her career right now… She’s really that mountain that all the women in our division need to climb,” Natalya emphasized, recognizing Jax’s ability to push her opponents to their limits.

“She brought out something in Jade Cargill, she ignited a fire inside of Jade Cargill, maybe not with the best tactics. But I wanna see everyone fighting tooth and nail to win this thing.”
