WWE veteran Natalya faced former WWE star Lacey Evans at their 2019 Crown Jewel PLE in the first-ever women’s match in Saudi Arabia. Natalya took to her official Twitter (X) account to reflect on the match that took place 5 years ago and the 2024 Crown Jewel PLE taking place this Saturday.
Natalya wrote, “I can’t believe five years have passed since I got to be a part of the first ever women’s match in Saudi Arabia. This was such a transcending moment for not only women in sports, but for women around the world to have more opportunities and visibility. We opened a door that had never been opened before in the most amazing way! It’s even more cool that I get to spend this anniversary in Saudi Arabia, ahead of Crown Jewel Saturday. Truly grateful.”
