A week after making her return to Monday Night Raw from an unusual hiatus amid her WWE contract expiry, Natalya Neidhart is now set to return in singles action and thereby build a beef with an emerging heel stable of the red brand.

As announced in the latest on WWE's social media, The Queen of Harts will square off in the ring against Pure Fusion Collective's Zoey Stark in a one-on-one capacity with the faction members possibly staying at ringside.

"Can @NatbyNature teach @ZoeyStarkWWE a lesson in respect or will it be a triumphant night for Pure Fusion Collective?" WWE wrote on X. It wasn't clarified whether the two competitors' respective partners would be on their side.

Natalya Neidhart made her return to WWE on last week's Raw which marked her first present since the month of June by making the save for Lyra Valkyria and Zelina Vega after they were attacked by Stark, Sonya Deville, and Shayna Baszler.

Valkyria and Vega had repeatedly been attacked by the Pure Fusion Collective members in the weeks leading to this match. This led Valkyria to set up a counter plan for the trio in Natalya's hometown of Calgary.

In more announcements on Raw, Damian Priest vs. Dominik Mysterio and Bronson Reed vs. Braun Strowman have also been scheduled for the show. The general manager of the show Adam Pearce announced the news in a video that was posted on WWE's X handle.

Priest and Dominik are involved in a rivalry throughout the summer as part of the Judgment Day storyline which will also produce Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley in a rematch for the women's world title at Bad Blood premium live event.

As for Reed and Strowman, the former returned to Raw last week after missing the previous show due to COVID. He interfered in the fatal-4-way main event and put Strowman through a table, costing him the match.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 16 episode takes place at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon where CM Punk will also be in attendance. The announced match card for the show goes as follows:
