Emma Says Surgery Went Well, Natalya On Women Possibly Main Eventing A PPV

WWE announced earlier this week that Emma had ruptured a disc in her back. On Wednesday Emma underwent successful back surgery to repair the ruptured disc and she posted the following after her surgery.

Natalya recently spoke to Brian Fritz of Sporting News about her title match at Extreme Rules. During the interview she talked about whether or not she thinks the women will ever main event a pay-per-view someday. You can check out the full interview here and read a quote below.

I don’t think we’re far away from that at all. It’s crazy because Vince McMahon is a man of his word. He promised there would be change with the women and the women’s division, and we got change. Triple H has spearheaded a lot of these changes for the women in the WWE starting in NXT. Triple H gave me my, I feel like, my WrestleMania moment at that NXT: TakeOver on May 29,2014, to really show the world what I could do. Before I had that match with Charlotte, I probably shouldn’t be saying this, Triple H told me that I didn’t even have a time limit. He just said do whatever you want. Just do whatever you want, I’m just leaving this all in your hands. He just believed in me so much and it made me … I didn’t want to let him down but I also knew I was getting a huge responsibility and I was ready to bite it off and bite off more than I could chew in every way because I knew that I could nail it.

You look at Triple H and Vince McMahon really collaborating and coming together on this. It’s huge. Say what you want but all the divas on the main roster, we were chomping at the bit waiting for this for so long. In a lot of ways, I would be talking with other girls in the locker room like the Bella Twins and say I wish we could do that because they were getting 20-minute matches. Then I finally got to have that, and I was like wow, you have no idea how great that felt, to get that story. That’s why NXT is such a success today because they get stories, characters are built. It’s just a fun product to watch. Charlotte and I main-evented Raw (Monday) night, and we closed the show. That is a huge step for women in wrestling, women in WWE and women everywhere.
