A WWE star has reflected on their match win in another company that took place over the recent SummerSlam weekend.

GCW Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIV took place on August 2 with a number of WWE stars in action.

In her second Bloodsport match, Natalya continued her undefeated run, this time with a victory over Masha Slamovich.

Reflecting on her victory over the former TNA Knockouts World Champion, Nattie Neidhart shared her thoughts on Twitter, saying:

“The thing with Masha is that she ended up being like everyone else in the sense that she thought she knew me because of the person she saw on TV. She thought that was me.

“And, that’s what kills me, is that she’s been in this business long enough to know better.

“She approached me as a fan, and, she was a sixteen-year-old girl asking how to get into this business.

“For me, she literally went into this match thinking she was going in there with an eighteen-year WWE veteran.

“And, she found out she wasn’t going there with Natalya. Natalya’s not home anymore. She was going in there with Nattie, and this is Nattie’s first year of doing this.

“And, so, I’m hungry. I’m driven and I’m dangerous. I’m more dangerous than anyone f*cking realises, and she found that out tonight.

“She found that out tonight. She learned who Nattie is, and I think, it’s just for me, I live and breathe the best when I’m being threatened. When I have bruises underneath my clothes, blood in my mouth. I love that feeling of kill or be killed. I love the rush of this.

“But, I will say that Masha has the soul of a fighter, and her energy is like nobody’s energy that I’ve ever competed in the ring before and so it was a matching energy sort of thing.

“Masha really brought me to my limits, and she’s someone that I’m never ever going to forget fighting.”

The reflection included footage from the match, showing the dominance of Nattie Neidhart and the spirit of her opponent.

Having previously appeared on WWE Evolve, Natalya has revealed that she has been vocal in seeking competition from “every corner of the industry“.

Natalya’s GCW Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport debut took place in April, with a victory over Miyu Yamashita.

Elsewhere at Bloodsport XIV, NXT’s Charlie Dempsey beat Dominic Garrini while Pete Dunne was victorious is his debut against Jonathan Gresham,

They couldn’t have known what I didn’t show them. But now the whole world knows what I can do, I can’t go back. NATTIE can beat anyone in the world. Unleash me. Give me my shot. pic.twitter.com/o0srtJA9ru
