Natalya: If You Love Wrestling And Have A Passion For It, We Welcome You At The Dungeon Regardless Of Promotion

Natalya wants to work with people who love wrestling. 

Over the past few years, Natalya and TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd) have created a Dungeon 2.0 where wrestlers can come and train alongside them and their peers. Many wrestlers have ventured to the Dungeon, including those in other promotions. 

Speaking to DS Shin on Ring The Belle, Natalya commented on working with wrestlers in other promotions. 

“So with our Dungeon, it’s like a workshop. It’s for intermediate to advanced people that just want to kind of work on things and fine-tune and hone their craft, but TJ and I have so many friends in the industry that I’m not going to be like, listen, you don’t work in WWE, so we can’t talk. If you love this and you have a passion for this, we can make it work. TJ and I love helping.

“We love to help people that love this. When I look at Moose, for example, I know Moose just won the TNA championship. I think I have so much respect for Moose and how hard he’s worked in his journey. And when Moose asked us to train, I thought, why not? Why not? He loves this. Billie Starkz asked me if she could come train with us, and I was like, yeah, I would love to get in there with you and mix it up. I love being able to help people do what they love. It’s hard because we only have a small space. So I try not to have more than 15 people there at a time. But it’s so cool to be able to work with women and men that love this. From Angelo Dawkins to Ashante Thee Adonis to Moose to B-Fab. B-Fab puts in so much work. She works so hard. I told her, I said, we don’t get ready, we stay ready. She’s somebody that’s really going to blow everybody away. I’m so, so, so proud of her. I’m excited. Love having Shotzi in our Dungeon. Shotzi works so hard. Of course, Liv Morgan’s an OG of the Dungeon and Liv is one of my favorite people to be in the ring with so I love working with Liv. It’s amazing. I just love people that have passion for this, and we want to help them in whatever way we can.”
