Speaking on the show about her relationship with Beth, she shared, "She debuted and I was just getting hired and I like that she's different, I like that she's not your typical Barbie doll, she's beautiful and she's strong and she loves wrestling ... she was somebody that like when I was first getting started in my WWE career I really looked up to her a lot ... Beth and I both like being strong and making bold statements with our gear, but we also loved being feminine and we loved being girly and strong at the same time and I think that there's a nice blend to that."

We’ve been best friends ever since.”
Natalya also spoke about how the duo had great fun working on their costumes together. She shared, “Beth always wanted to pay homage to my family with pink and black. You know, we got these little sparkly study-like spikes made for one of our costumes. We always wanted to match each other.”
