To me, it’s totally obvious, so she must — hopefully, Nattie can work along with her on changing into a calmer performer within the ring. Sadly, I do not suppose Maxxine will get a variety of time to get reps beneath her belt. I do not know what her schedule is like, however I do know she trains with Nattie. Loads of the stuff being performed may be very — you see it coming from a mile away. Attempt to carry out extra within the second and make all the things look extra real, however sure, particular steps ahead for Maxxine.”

Ray reminded followers how Natalya was unsuccessful in her try and take the title off of Becky Lynch, which might be tied right into a storyline with Maxxine.

“Becky beat Nattie fairly handily a few months in the past, however Maxine bought the one, two, three. Nattie may all the time say, ‘Yeah, however you wanted assist from AJ Lee. And Maxine will be like, ‘Why cannot you be completely happy for me?’ And Nattie’s like, ‘I’m completely happy for you, however do not forget who bought you to this place,'” Ray added. 

He identified that Natalya, the skilled veteran, might be jealous that Maxxine has bought extra alternatives and even received a title that she hasn’t, which might be the idea of their feud.
