Natalya taking 39-year-old WWE star to the dungeon for training after embarrassing squash on RAW

WWE Superstar Natalya has made it clear to a fellow star that she's taking him back to the dungeon after the events of tonight's edition of RAW. On the red brand, Akira Tozawa lost to Rusev in a squash.

It didn't take long for Rusev to put Tozawa down on WWE RAW tonight. The veteran kept The Accolade locked in on the defeated star after the victory, but Sheamus came out to make the big save. Sheamus and Rusev then had a staredown before the latter left the ring.

Shortly after, Natalya shared a blunt message for Akira Tozawa on her official X/Twitter account. She posted a backstage photo with him and Maxxine Dupri and told him the following:

"We can have a pity party tonight, @TozawaAkira . But tomorrow we get back to work in The Dungeon. It’s time to rebuild and remind everyone of who you are. @maxxinedupri and I believe in you. #WWERaw."

It seems like it's been ages since Tozawa won a singles match in WWE. The last time he bagged a singles victory was back in October 2024. During the WWE Speed taping on October 25, 2024, Tozawa picked up a win over Riley Osborne.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
