Nattie Reflects On WWE NXT Segment With Jaida Parker, Calls Her the ‘Female Jacob Fatu’

Nattie is enjoying her work in NXT with Jaida Parker, calling Parker the “female Jacob Fatu” after their segment on last night’s show. Last night’s show featured a segment between the two, in which Parker pushed back against Nattie’s claims that she’s soft. The segment led to the announcement of a submission match between the two at NXT Heatwave.

Nattie spoke about the segment on Busted Open Radio and said that this kind of work is why she wanted to come down to NXT,

“A lot of things were accomplished tonight, and this is exactly why I asked Shawn Michaels to please (let me) come and work with Jaida Parker in NXT,” she said (per Fightful). “:I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: not a single soul asked me to come to NXT. It’s not like ‘Oh, she’s being asked to go down there because she’s trying to take someone’s spot.’ I said to Shawn, ‘I want to work with Jaida because I see something in her that is so special.’”

She continued about Parker, “She’s got this dog in her that I’m like- I’ve got to test the Nattie character out against her. I feel like, and I’ve said this before, I feel like she’s the female Jacob Fatu. She’s got this edge about her that’s very different from the other girls, and that’s not me saying anything negative about any of the other girls because I loved the match I had with Kendal, I loved the match I had with Thea Hail, and I love the work I’ve done in NXT.”

NXT Heatwave takes place on Sunday and airs live on The CW in the US, and Netflix internationally.
