On Busted Open Radio, Nattie detailed the atmosphere backstage when Brock Lesnar retired and provided her own tribute.
“It was cool to see that Brock left on his own terms but it was emotional in Gorilla before he went out. There’s never going to be anybody like him. He’s an anomaly. Nobody does physicality the way that Brock does in the ring. When Brock comes in and cleans house, does a run-in or does a match, nobody is throwing people around the way that Brock does. He brings chaos. He’s everyone of a kind. You’re never going to find someone like him with his physicality ever again, in my opinion.”
She also spoke about seeing so many people retire throughout her career: “I hate when people retire. Can I just say that? I was not happy about it when John Cena did it. I was not happy about it. I don’t like saying goodbye to people and there’s no such thing as a goodbye to me. That’s always how I’ve been The great thing with AJ Styles, John Cena and with Brock Lesnar is that they did it on their terms. You look at the shape that Brock Lesnar was in. He was in, I think, the best shape of his life and he’s 49 years old. I’m trying to think who else on the main roster looks like Brock. What Brock showed is, ‘Hey, you can be in peak physical condition, doing amazing, amazing work,’ and the power is being able to wrap this up on your own terms. There is so much power in that..I’ve seen so many wrestlers, including most of the wrestlers in my family, all of them who have had to retire. It’s not because they made a conscious effort like, ‘Hey, it’s time for me to slow this down.’ It’s because an injury or a circumstance forced them to stop doing this.”
