Natalya sends heartfelt message to 33-year-old ahead of debut match on WWE SmackDown 

WWE veteran Natalya sent a heartfelt message to a 33-year-old star ahead of her high-stakes match on SmackDown. The tournament for the Women's United States Championship will begin on tonight's edition of the blue brand in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

B-Fab will be competing in her first televised SmackDown match tonight. She has previously been in action on RAW but has never had a match on the blue brand. The former Hit Row member will be squaring off against Candice LeRae and Bayley in a Triple Threat Match in the first round of the tournament for the Women's United States Championship.

The former champion took to her X (fka Twitter) account to quote-tweet the match graphics ahead of SmackDown and noted in a heartfelt message that it was B-Fab's time to shine.

"Your time to shine @TheVibeBri!!!! So so excited for this tournament to start tonight! #SmackDown," she wrote.

Natalya sends heartfelt message to former WWE Superstar

RAW star Natalya recently sent a heartwarming message to former WWE star Edge, now known as Adam Copeland in All Elite Wrestling.

Copeland suffered a broken tibia during his match against Malakia Black at AEW Double or Nothing 2024 and has not returned to action. He celebrated his birthday last month, and Natalya took to social media to send The Rated-R Superstar a heartfelt message. She noted that the legend has been a great friend over the years and was looking forward to catching up with him and his wife, Beth Phoenix.

"Happy birthday to @RatedRCope. We are truly grateful for your kindness and friendship through the years, Adam. Can’t wait to catch up with you and Beth again soon," she tweeted.

The 42-year-old competed in the Battle Royal to determine Liv Morgan's next challenger for the Women's World Championship earlier this month on RAW. Damage CTRL's IYO SKY emerged victorious to earn a title match against Liv Morgan. It will be interesting to see what the company has planned for Natalya moving forward.
