Just minutes ago, Natalya joined WWE.com’s Fan Nation for a pre-Bash live blog! Read below:

7:22	Corey Clayton -Natalya is here everyone!!!

7:23	[Comment From *!~tiffany luvs matt*!~] hey natalya

7:23	[Comment From Romeo] Hi Natalya

7:23	[Comment From amanda m.] OH WOW! SHES EARLY

7:23	[Comment From Chris] WooT!

7:23	Corey Clayton -  Keep those questions coming for Natalya!

7:24	Natalya -  hey everyone! its great to be here! I am through the roof with energy waiting to answer your q’s!!

7:24	Corey Clayton -  We have tons of questions from the fans…. let’s get started.

7:25	Corey Clayton -  This one is on everyone’s mind….

7:25	[Comment From Corrina] Natalya, Do you think you will be the first Divas Champion?

7:25	Natalya -  I have every intention of being the first diva’s champion. I am here to win…and being third generation, that is what I am gonna do!!

7:26	[Comment From John] Hey Natalya first off…Good Luck against Michelle tonight….i hope you win..i would love to see a Hart family first..a Womens (Divas) Champion..and what is it like being the daughter of the Great Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart?? and the Neice of the Great Bret Hart??

7:27	Natalya -  It is cool to be in a wrestling family and to have my dad and uncles share my same love! My dad is wild and crazy and he makes every moment fun and exciting. I think he is where I get my mischevious side from. Bret is great for advice and he always makes me remember what is important…

7:27	[Comment From Rosie from cali] what technique are you going to use to beat your opponent michelle mccool

7:28	Natalya -  I am going to do whatever it takes to beat McCool! I know what has worked before and I have a few new manouvers up my sleeve. I plan on finishing her with a little family tradition!!

7:28	[Comment From Spyro] why the hair color change?

7:29	[Comment From !~tiff luvs matt hardy!~] yes why the hair color change

7:30	Natalya -  Because I felt like being bold and diifferent and taking a chance on a bright color. One thing I about being a red head is that I am a lot more aggressive in the ring!! HAHAHA!

7:30	[Comment From Michael] When you first started wrestling, were you intimidated with the expectations living up to the family name, or were you confidant right from the start?

7:32

Natalya -  I have huge shoes to fill, but I know that. That is why I have done my home work and I continue to work hard. I believe in my heritage, but I am blazing my own trail. I have already made history by being the first female in the Hart family to wrestle, and the First third generation diva in the WWE. That is empowering…and I will continue to honor my roots and build my own name at the same time.

7:32	[Comment From Rhea] what’s your opinion of the more “extreme matches” like ladder and cage, and would you like to do one?

7:33	[Comment From Daniel S.] yeah. would you ever do a diva steel cage match?

7:33	Natalya -  I am Natalya by Nature, but Naughty by choice! I will rise to whatever the occasion may be…and I look forward to these kinds of matches…Diva’s can do anything!!!

7:34	Corey Clayton -  Many fans are asking … if you win tonight, would you want to face Mickie James to unite both Women’s Titles?

7:36	Natalya -  I want to face Micky any day of the week! I would love to wrestle her because I know she is a fierce competitor…and that drives me and makes hungry. Makes me a better fighter…so yes!!

7:36	[Comment From rosie from cali] what wwe past diva would you like to wrestle?

7:37	Natalya -  I would have loved to have wrestled Molly Holly…either her or Trish Stratus. I think we could have some real showdowns…and really light it up!!!

7:37	[Comment From Michael] Alot of superstars and divas have these, but what are your pre-match “rituals” if you don’t mind me asking?

7:39	Natalya -  I always say a prayer before I go out and ask my uncles and my grandfather to look out for me. I know they are watching…

7:39	[Comment From Waiss] How much excersize should i get if i want to be as strong as you?

7:40

Natalya -  I have the genetics of an ox! I struggled with my physique for a long time, because I always felt bulky…Thanks, Dad! But, now I work out with weights about three days a week, and it is usually very light. Then I run, rollerblade, do jiu jitzu and wrestle! I wrestle my heart out whenever I can…and that keeps me in the best shape!!!

7:41	[Comment From Shay] Do you think you could take on the Glamazon Beth Pheonix and win??

7:42	[Comment From khadijah] U remind me so much of the Glamazon!

7:42	Natalya -  I can’t wait till I face Beth Pheonix. I look forward to the day we meet in the squared circle and I think it will be a showdown no one will forget. I would have to really work for it, but this third generation diva can take down the Glamazon no problem!!!

7:42	[Comment From Brayden from Canada] Are you proud to be a Canadian wrestler?

7:43	Natalya -  I am so proud to be a Canadian wrestler and entertainer. I love Canada and it seems that some of the greatest wrestlers of our past and present have come from the most beautiful country in the world.

7:43	Corey Clayton -  Lots of fans are asking … what are your thoughts on Edge and Vickie?

7:44	Natalya -  I think that Edge has really dug himself into a hole and now he has to find a way out of it. I think Vickie is an incredible woman and such a strong role model for us. I can’t believe Edge would ruin that…but I know Vickie…she will not go down without a fight. She is a one of a kind.

7:45	[Comment From Jessie Baker] what advice would you give to someone who want to be a WWE Diva

7:47

Natalya -  For anyone that wants to be a WWE diva…the first thing that you need is passion. You have to have a passion for sports entertainment. You have to love this industry and you have to understand that sacrifice that goes into having such an incredible job…Also, you gotta balance being sexy, strong, powerful, and stylish into whatever you do…If you can have a fight in high heels and lip gloss…and still look great, you are on your way!!

7:47	[Comment From miths] Natalya, your uncle Bret won the US Title right 10 years ago. Woudn´t it be so sweet if you did the same today?

7:49	Natalya -  I would love to win the Championship tonight…and I will. Bret and I could share a special day together and bask forever on July 20th!!

7:49	[Comment From Mick] Hey Nattie, just wanted to know how you would feel if you had to wrestle your best friend Victoria because that’s a dream match of mine.

7:50

Natalya -  I would love to fight Victoria because, again, it comes down to her being a skilled competitor. She would challenge me on many levels, and I thrive on competition. It brings out the best in me. But, she is my BFF. I really turn to her for support and strength…and I prefer that over battle. You can’t trust many diva’s in the locker room like Cherry or Michelle…even Eve.

7:50	[Comment From Megan Loves John Cena] what male wrestler would you like to take on in a wrestling match ?

7:52	Natalya -  I would love to take on Fit Finlay. He is such an amazing performer. He is just awesome. He is also a great innovator of our business. That would be a dream match for me. And we are both Third Generation…It’s in our blood! We love to fight!

7:53	Corey Clayton -  Fans are asking…. do you have anything personal against Cherry, because she’s taken a beating from you alot lately.

7:54

Natalya -  I have nothing against Cherry, but I am tired of her playing this role of being an innocent victim. She is not. She hides behind Michelle and she is actually very sneaky.   I just want her to take responsibility. I think if she wants to be a diva, she needs to know it is serious business.

7:54	Corey Clayton -  Right now, the fans on this LIve Blog are picking you 58 to 42 percent to win tonight. Any final thoughts going into your big Divas Championship Match tonight, in just hours…

7:58

Natalya -  My final thoughts going into my match tonight are this: I have made history coming into the WWE and I eat, sleep and breathe this business. This is my passion, this is my family’s love…this is what makes me tick. I am anxious about facing McCool, because I am ready to make history again as the first ever Diva’s Champion. It would be a dream come true. And I know that my family is proud of me…no matter what. As long as I am happy. I will carry that sentiment with me tonight as I enter the ring, for this very historical match!!! lots of love to you guys. …and remember…when you mess with the best, you down with the rest!!! love Natalya

7:58	Corey Clayton -  Natalya, thanks so much for joining WWE Fan Nation tonight. Best of luck in your Divas Championship Match.   We hope you can stop by again soon.

7:58	Natalya -  Thank you all, I am gonna make you guys proud!!!
