Natalya Neidhart was initially supposed to work one single match on the night of WWE’s show in India, Superstar Spectacle. Fightful Select has the scoop:
:Natalya was getting praise after her appearances in India over last weekend.
The veteran was scheduled to face Rhea Ripley in a World Championship match at the India live event on September 7, but ended up getting even more. Becky Lynch was abruptly prevented from traveling to the country due to a tear in her passport, and was removed from the show.
Originally, Becky Lynch was scheduled to face Zoey Stark, who she had been linked with on television for quite some time. There were other options discussed, but WWE had limited female wrestlers scheduled to travel to the country.
We’re told that a triple threat match was briefly considered, but Natalya eventually stepped up and said she was willing to work twice on the show. WWE higher ups that we heard from put her over heavily for doing so, with one telling us it displayed leadership and helped them out of a bind.”

Natalya Neidhart, member of the legendary Hart family, has a reputation of being a consummate professional, and her stepping up in Becky Lynch’s stead is evident of that. Neidhart previously had an acclaimed match with Rhea Ripley on the July 3, 2023 episode of Monday Night Raw.
