It’s a big day for Natalya (you’ll see why when we post SmackDown! media) and it’s just been made a little more special! Natalya and Victoria’s friendship is once again featured in Diva Dish at WWE.com… this time with pictures!
Victoria + Natalya = BBF 4-Ever
Two of SmackDownâs most devious Divas seem to be joined at the hip lately. Whether itâs in the ring, in the Divasâ locker room or out on the town, Victoria and Natalya are inseparable. Theyâve even been spotted sporting custom-made, matching âBest Friendsâ T-shirts and necklaces. Diva Dish recently sat down for a chat (or should we say ego-fest?) with the BFFs.
âI went shopping today. I got us matching necklaces. We had special custom T-shirts made that say âBest Friendsâ and theyâre a split heart, just like the necklace,â Victoria told Diva Dish.
âYou went all out and it was such a surprise because May 27 was my birthday,â Natalya chimed in. âI came into the building and this little one over here had a package waiting for me. She went out and got the shirts, and had them custom made for me. I thought I was going to cry, but you know, being third-generation, we donât cry.â
âWe donât cry! Thereâs no crying in wrestling!â Victoria replied.
âYou can give me a high-five on that one, girlfriend!â Natalya said, as the duo erupted in laughter.
Victoria said sheâs grown so close to Natalya since she became a Diva, they act like sisters. And the Divas arenât joking when they say they finish each otherâs sentences.
âOne thing I have to say, and I believe this in my heart of hearts, is that what you have that I was most attracted to, is that youâre violent and original,â Natalya said to Victoria. âAnd for me itâs like, there is not another woman who I can find who can get on my level to be violent and original. She brings it. Every single night thereâs just this energy and I feed off it.â
âWeâre very lucky because I feed off her, because sheâs very talented. Youâre very original, too. Iâve learned wrestling skills from you. Your confidence level is amazing out there,â Victoria told her best bud.
âYou are amazing,â Natalya said.
âYou are amazing,â Victoria responded.
âWe are â â Natalya started.
âAmazing!â Victoria finished.
When Diva Dish informed the pals they were two of the most downloaded Divas on WWE.com in recent weeks, Victoria admitted she was a little bit surprised.
âIâm so used to people downloading those little skinny girls, like Kelly Kelly and Michelle â the cookie-cutter blonds. Now it shows weâre being appreciated as athletes with wrestling abilities â that we can back up what we do,â Victoria said.
But Natalya wasnât shocked she and her best friend are making waves online.
âNaturally, being the first third-generation Diva in WWE, it just felt right when I heard I was one of the most downloaded Divas,â Natalya said.
âPeople want to know what Iâm up to, what Iâm wearing, what Iâm talking about, what weâre doing, what weâve been doing â they just want to see Natalya and Victoria. She doesnât give herself enough credit, but this woman is amazing. I know itâs not Valentineâs Day, but I wouldnât be able to do it without you,â Natalya said, looking at her friend.
âAwwww. You give me a hug. Come here, BFF!â Victoria said, embracing her friend and then continuing: âWe have good chemistry in the ring and outside the ring. I think it shows in our performance. We put our hearts and souls into every single match. We try to be the best, because you know what?â
âWhen you mess with the best, you go down with the rest. Yeah, baby!â the two said in unison.
