Natalya def. Brie Bella

LOS ANGELES – After defeating Brie Bella & Eva Marie with the help of Maria Menounos earlier Sunday at SummerSlam Axxess, Natalya rode a wave of momentum into SummerSlam, earning a second victory of the day against The Bella Twin and “Total Divas” co-star.

The Bellas have been at odds with their E! reality show co-star since the show’s July premiere, calling Natalya the Divas division’s “ugly duckling.” Their rivalry has only intensified as “Total Divas” has become E!’s biggest reality success of 2013. With The Funkadactyls in her corner, in-ring veteran Natalya proved once again why she’s  one of the most dominant Divas WWE has ever seen. At SummerSlam, The “Queen of Harts” refused to let the devious Bella duo and Eva Marie into her head with their insults and idea that they’re the true stars of "Total Divas.”

After exchanging slaps even more vicious than those they traded earlier this week on Raw, Brie tried to wear down Natalya with punishing kicks and holds, yelling at her opponent to “give up.” The third-generation Diva retaliated with a Sharpshooter, but Brie powered her way out.

When Eva Marie and Nikki tried to intervene in the match, Cameron & Naomi stepped in on Natalya’s behalf, bringing the funk right back into the Diva's corner. After a hard-hitting Alabama Slam, Natalya locked Brie into the Sharpshooter again, this time forcing her to tap out.

This “Total Divas” rivalry will undoubtedly only intensify in the weeks to come, not only on the E! reality hit, but on Raw and SmackDown. Stay tuned to  wwedivas.com to get all the latest dirt on Natalya, The Bellas, The Funkadactyls and the rest of the Divas division.
