Listen up, wrestling fans! The Queen of Harts, Natalya, has just secured her throne in WWE for a few more years. Following in the footsteps of superstars like Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, and Seth Rollins, Natalya has inked a new deal with WWE. And thanks to our friends at Fightful Select, we’ve got the inside scoop on how it all went down.
Natalya, a former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion, signed her extension with WWE in late June, right before her previous contract expired. Talks between Natalya and WWE began in May, with one key stipulation on her end: the flexibility to continue working on outside projects. This could potentially include a film about the legendary Hart Family. Now that’s a movie we’d all love to see!
The new contract is a multi-year deal, ensuring that Natalya will be a fixture in WWE for the foreseeable future. Initially, there were whispers that Natalya was weighing her options, considering her future in professional wrestling. This sparked interest from companies outside of WWE, making the possibility of her departure a real concern.
Adding to the intrigue, Natalya’s husband, TJ Wilson (formerly known as Tyson Kidd), also received interest from other organizations, particularly for roles as a backstage producer. But in the end, WWE and Natalya managed to seal the deal, keeping her from entering the free agency market and potentially heading elsewhere.
Natalya’s journey with WWE started in 2007, when she joined the developmental territories. She made her main roster debut in 2008 and has been a staple ever since, with brief stints in “WWE NXT.”
So, wrestling enthusiasts, it’s official: The Queen of Harts will continue to reign in WWE, bringing her expertise, legacy, and heart to the ring for years to come.
