Tommy Dreamer Wanted Natalya To Become the First Women’s Intercontinental Champion

– During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, Tommy Dreamer commented on Natalya being eliminated from the Women’s Intercontinental Championship after losing in a triple threat bout earlier this month. Dreamer thinks Natalya should’ve advanced and won the tournament. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Tommy Dreamer on Natalya being eliminated from the tournament: “As for Nattie, I thought she had a great appearance, great showing, kind of stole the show, and I’m the biggest Nattie fan. I agree with her [tweet] — would’ve loved to see Nattie win this, be the first-ever Women’s Intercontinental Champion. I thought it would’ve added to her already first ballot Hall of Fame, and she looks good — she looks actually better than ever — and she works her ass off.”

On why Nattie should’ve won: “It’s such a moment if this woman wins. It would’ve been a great feel-good moment, and again, if it’s a first — Chelsea [Green], even though she’s a heel got a massive babyface pop — and it should’ve gone to Nattie as well.”

As previously reported, Lyra Valkyria will face Iyo Sky in the finals of the tournament to crown the inaugural women’s Intercontinental Champion on Monday, January 13. That edition of WWE Raw will be held at the SAP Center in San Jose, California. The show will stream live on Netflix.
