42-year-old WWE veteran sends a message amid rumors of backstage frustration at RAW

A veteran WWE star wrote a message on her Instagram account amid rumors of backstage frustration this past Monday on RAW. Natalya seems to be in a good mood despite the reported tension regarding the 10-woman tag team match.

The Queen of Harts teamed up with Lyra Valkyria, Zelina Vega, Katana Chance, and Kayden Carter to take on Pure Fusion Collective and The Unholy Union. Valkyria ultimately picked up the win for her team. However, Fightful Select reported that the contest was met with disappointment backstage.

Per the report, the main source of frustration was the booking of the match and the lack of direction for all the women involved. There was also the commercial break, which cut the TV time for the bout.

Despite the backstage rumors after Monday night, Natalya shared some images and reels from the show on her Instagram account. The 42-year-old also gave a shoutout to R-Truth for being a source of inspiration in the back.

"About last night! Thank you to my girls and Truth of course…for the inspiration 😎 #wweraw [And thank you @vc_makeupartist for the pretty glam!]," Natalya wrote.

With RAW back to two hours plus the size of its current roster, not all stars are going to have a fair share of TV time and storylines. However, SmackDown has thrived under the two-hour format, so the people on the red brand could still be making some adjustments.

Triple H comments on WWE RAW's runtime for Netflix

WWE RAW will be moving to Netflix at the start of 2025, but there are some questions about the show's runtime. This week, the red show reverted to two hours for the first time since July 23, 2012.

Speaking to reporters after Bad Blood, Triple H was still unsure of RAW's runtime when it moves to Netflix. But one thing is for sure: they will be prepared, whether it's going to be two or three hours long.

"We're still working through all that so I think, the truth is, you guys will have to watch and see, and I'm going to wait and see, but we'll deal with it. The truth is, no matter what the length of time is, it’s just about putting out the best product we can, telling the best possible stories we can. (...) Let's write the best stories, and then we’ll try to figure out how to jam it into whatever timeslot we have available," Triple H said. [H/T: Cageside Seats]

WWE's move to Netflix is part of its 10-year, $5 billion deal with the media giant. The company has the option to extend an additional 10 years or opt out after Year Five.
