On the October 25 episode of SmackDown, Natalya lost against Nikki Bella in a match to determine the captain of the SmackDown women's team at the Survivor Series pay-per-view.[197][198] However, after Nikki had been attacked backstage before the match, Natalya replaced Nikki but led her team to defeat.[199] At the TLC pay-per-view, Carmella accused Natalya of having been Nikki's attacker at Survivor Series; Natalya denied this[200] for weeks before attacking Carmella on the December 20 episode of SmackDown and admitting to having attacked Nikki, revealing her pent-up jealousy of Bella's success over the years.[201] Natalya and Nikki were set to compete in a match on the January 10, 2017, episode of SmackDown, but the match never officially started due a brawl between the two, where referees came in to break them up.[202] At the Royal Rumble pay-per-view on January 29, Natalya competed in a six-woman tag team match alongside Alexa Bliss and Mickie James against Nikki, Naomi, and Becky Lynch, where her team was defeated after Naomi pinned Bliss.[203] On February 12 at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, Natalya faced Nikki in singles competition,[204] which ended in a double count-out.[205] The feud culminated in a Falls Count Anywhere match on the February 21 episode of SmackDown, in which Natalya was victorious after an interference from Maryse.[206] On June 18 at Money in the Bank, Natalya competed in the inaugural women's Money in the Bank ladder match, which was won by Carmella following an interference by James Ellsworth.[207]

On July 23, Natalya defeated Flair, Lynch, Tamina, and Lana in a five-way elimination match at Battleground, earning an opportunity to face Naomi for the SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam on August 20.[208] At the event, Natalya defeated Naomi to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship. With this victory, Natalya became the first woman to hold both the Divas Championship and the SmackDown Women's Championship.[209] On the September 12 episode of SmackDown, Natalya made her first successful title defense in a rematch against Naomi.[210] At Hell in a Cell on October 8, Natalya defended her championship against Charlotte Flair, which resulted into a disqualification loss after she attacked Flair with a chair.[211] On November 14 episode of SmackDown, she dropped the title to Charlotte, losing by submission, and hereby ending her reign at 86 days.[212] Natalya then competed at Survivor Series along with Becky Lynch, Tamina Snuka, Naomi and Carmella as a part of Team Smackdown against Team Raw in a losing effort.[213] Natalya received her Smackdown Women's Championship rematch at Clash of Champions, but was unsuccessful against Flair in a lumberjack match.[214]

At the 2018 Royal Rumble, Natalya participated in the first Women's Royal Rumble Match; she entered at number 18 but was eliminated by Trish Stratus. At Fastlane, Carmella and Natalya defeated Naomi and Becky Lynch after Carmella pinned Becky.

Alliance with Ronda Rousey (2018–2019)

On the April 16, 2018 episode of Raw, Natalya was once again drafted to Raw and became a fan favorite for the first time since June 2016. In her first match, she defeated Mandy Rose, but after the match, both Rose and Sonya Deville attacked her before Ronda Rousey made the save.[215] Shortly after that scene, Natalya was placed in a storyline with Rousey as she was revealed to be her training partner and friend.[216][217][218][219] In June, Natalya competed in the Money in the Bank ladder match for the third time in her career, however, at the event, the match was ultimately won by Alexa Bliss.[220][221] Throughout the following months, Natalya continued to compete in various singles and tag team matches[222][223][224] and also worked as a manager for both Nia Jax[225] and Ronda Rousey in some of their matches against Alexa Bliss to avoid Mickie James' interference.[226]

In October, Natalya joined forces with Sasha Banks and Bayley against The Riott Squad (Sarah Logan, Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott)[227][228] which led to a six–woman tag team match at the first ever all women's pay–per–view, Evolution, where Natalya, Banks and Bayley were victorious.[229][230] Shortly after the event, Natalya continued her feud with Ruby Riott after the latter broke the "glasses" of Natalya's recently deceased father.[231][232] During that time, both women were announced as the final members of Team Raw for the interbrand women's traditional five–on–five tag team elimination match, however, they were eventually removed from the match as they brawled just before Survivor Series started.[233][234][235] On the December 3 episode of Raw, in what was supposed to be a tag team match pitting Natalya and Ronda Rousey against Nia Jax and Tamina, The Riott Squad attacked Natalya and put her through a table while Jax and Tamina cornered Rousey to prevent her from helping.[236] This led to a tables match between Ruby Riott and Natalya at the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs event,[237][238] where Natalya gained revenge and defeated Riott after powerbombing her from the top rope through a table.[239] On the December 24 episode of Raw, after she won an eight-woman gauntlet match to become the number one contender a week prior,[240] Natalya faced Rousey for her Raw Women's Championship, however, she was unsuccessful in winning the match and the title.[241] On January 27, 2019, at the 2019 Royal Rumble, Natalya entered the second women's Royal Rumble match at number 2, lasting 56:01 (surpassing Sasha Banks' previous record set in 2018), and eliminated Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan, before she was eliminated by Nia Jax.[242]

Various storylines (2019–present)

The Divas of Doom in May 2019

At Fastlane, Natalya reunited her team with Beth Phoenix, known as The Divas of Doom, after the two were attacked by Nia Jax and Tamina.[243][244] The Divas of Doom took part of a fatal four-way tag team match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 35 on April 7, however, the match was won by The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce).[245]

In May, Natalya competed in the Money in the Bank ladder match at the namesake pay–per–view, where she was unsuccessful in winning the match.[246] In June, Natalya and Alexa Bliss were supposed to compete in an late addition match at the Super Show-Down pay–per–view in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, however, the match was rejected by the Saudi Arabian government just before the show started due to the suppression of women's rights.[247][248][249][250] On July 15's edition of Raw, Natalya won a fatal four-way elimination match to become the #1 contender for Becky Lynch's Raw Women's Championship. At SummerSlam, Natalya was unsuccessful in winning the Raw Women's title from Lynch in a Submission match.[251] She got an injured shoulder, and came out on Raw wearing a cast, when she was then subjected to a brutal assault from the returning Sasha Banks, whom Natalya considered a friend.[252] Natalya was defeated by Banks on August 26 edition of Raw.[253] Natalya later began feuding with Lacey Evans, exchanging victories and losses, before defeating her in a last woman standing match.[254] The pair later took on the Kabuki Warriors in a losing effort.[255] Natalya defeated Evans again at Crown Jewel, which was the first ever women's match to take place in Saudi Arabia.[256] On the WrestleMania 36 kickoff show, she lost to Liv Morgan.[257]

On the June 15 episode of Raw, Natalya and Liv Morgan lost to The IIconics. Afterward, Natalya began turning heel by ripping on Morgan and claiming that she had been given no respect, with Lana venting her frustrations to Natalya afterward.[258] On the June 22 episode of Raw, Natalya turned heel for the first time since 2018, when she solidified her alliance with Lana and defeated Liv Morgan by submission.[259]
