Natalya made her return to WWE on Monday night's edition of Raw, first appearing in a backstage segment with Paige then losing to Naomi in a singles match later in the night.

Natalya has been off of WWE programming (with the exception of Total Divas) for several weeks in order to be by the side of her husband Tyson Kidd as he recovers from undergoing surgery for a severe neck and spinal injury, which he suffered after competing in a dark match against Samoa Joe in early June.
