Hold onto your wrestling boots, folks! The Queen of Harts, Natalya, might soon be making some big decisions about her WWE future. With her contract nearing its expiration date, WWE has reportedly approached her for an extension. The 17-year WWE veteran, known for her resilience and in-ring prowess, has been a staple of the company since 2007. But as of now, nothing is set in stone.
According to Fightful Select, WWE has initiated conversations with Natalya about extending her contract. While the specifics remain under wraps and no deal has been signed yet, it’s clear that Natalya is keeping her options open. She’s been busy with projects outside the ring, including a potential Hart Family movie. Could we see Natalya swapping the ring for the silver screen? Only time will tell.
The timing of these discussions is noteworthy, especially given the silence on her contract status until now. Natalya isn’t the only superstar with a ticking clock; Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, and Becky Lynch are also nearing the end of their current deals. The speculation around these superstars has been rampant, partly due to the tenure of former Executive Vice President of Talent, Dan Ventrelle.
This year has seen Natalya juggling her time between “WWE Raw” and “WWE NXT.” She took a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship in April and battled in a memorable NXT Underground match against Lola Vice. Recently, she was eliminated by Iyo Sky in the first round of the Queen of the Ring tournament, which concludes this weekend in Saudi Arabia. Throughout her illustrious career, Natalya has held the Divas, “SmackDown” Women’s, and Women’s Tag Team Championships, solidifying her legacy as one of WWE’s most tenured and respected stars.
Stay tuned, as the Queen of Harts’ next move could bring exciting changes to the WWE landscape!
