WWE veteran Natalya has been reinventing herself on the independent circuit in 2025, and now she wants to bring her more aggressive “Nattie Neidhart” persona to WWE television.
Natalya Wants To Bring ‘Nattie’ To WWE
Speaking with Cauliflower Alley Club TV, Natalya discussed her recent run in promotions like GCW and NWA under her “Nattie Neidhart” name, where she has portrayed a more ruthless, shoot-style character. She stated that she is eager to introduce that side of herself to the WWE fans.
“I really want to bring Nattie to WWE. I definitely want to bring her to WWE,” Natalya said. “I think Nattie has to be handled very carefully because the second we bring her to WWE and we don’t have a good game plan, I think we can lose the character, so we have to handle her very carefully.”
A Mick Foley-Inspired Reinvention
Natalya revealed that a major inspiration for this dual-persona idea came from WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, who famously portrayed multiple distinct characters throughout his career. “A big part of the inspiration for this character came from Mick Foley when he was Mick Foley in WWE and outside of WWE, he was Cactus Jack… he can morph back into both of them,” she explained.
“I want to bring Nattie to WWE, we just have to make sure that the women of the division can handle Nattie because I’m not sure all of them can hang with Nattie,” she added.
As Nattie Neidhart, she has earned high praise, recently defeating TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIV.
