WWE superstar Natalya talks about SummerSlam 1992 as she looks ahead to Sunday's SmackDown women's title match against Naomi

WWE superstar Natalya has paid tribute to her uncles Bret Hart and Davey Boy Smith's achievements at SummerSlam 1992 at Wembley during an emotional interview with Sky Sports.

The brothers-in-law tore it up in front of more than 80,000 fans at Wembley 25 years ago, in what was recently voted the greatest British moment in WWE history by Sky Sports viewers.

Natalya told us in Brooklyn ahead of this year's SummerSlam, live on Sky Sports Box Office from midnight on Sunday: "Who doesn't still talk about Bret 'The Hitman' Hart versus The British Bulldog in 1992?

"It was one of the most iconic moments in SummerSlam history and one of the greatest matches of all-time in WWE and they both happen to be my family.

"It's so special to think about what my family has achieved, what my family has done in WWE, and that I get to carry on that torch."

Natalya had to wipe away a few tears when discussing one of her fondest family memories, and that night at Wembley is clearly a huge source of inspiration going into her SmackDown Women's Championship match against Naomi at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

"We've had this incredible lineage in WWE, wrestling has been our life. For me to be able to carry the SmackDown Women's Championship will bring integrity to it and remind everyone to get in line.

Natalya hasn't held a championship title for six years and admits her family pride has kept her motivated throughout.

"It means everything to me. To walk into New York at the Barclays Center to face one of my toughest opponents and have everything on the line, this may be my last chance to have a Women's Championship. I have to pull it off."
