WWE Superstar Natalya, Nattie Neidhart, is set to release her new memoir, “The Last Hart Beating: From the Dungeon to WWE”. The book is scheduled to be released on Saturday, October 26, 2025. In support of the memoir, Neidhart has announced a 13-city book tour that will begin later this month.
The book tour is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, October 28, in Los Angeles, California. It will then continue across North America with stops in Minneapolis, Ridgewood (NJ), Toronto, Albuquerque, Calgary, Providence, Boston, Greensboro, New York City, Stockholm (NJ), and Orlando. The tour will conclude on Sunday, November 30, in Glendale, Arizona. Details and ticket information for the tour are available at Lasthartbeatingbook.com.
The memoir will provide an inside look at the life of Neidhart, who is noted as the longest-serving female wrestler in WWE history. As a member of the legendary Hart family, her journey in professional wrestling is unique. She is the first and only woman from her family to become a professional wrestler, following in the footsteps of her grandfather Stu Hart, father Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, and uncles Bret and Owen Hart.
The book’s overview describes it as a “raw, unwaveringly honest memoir,” in which Neidhart will open up for the first time about her life as a legacy of the Hart dynasty. The memoir features a foreword by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and a preface by her uncle, Bret “Hitman” Hart.
“The Last Hart Beating” will share untold details on several aspects of her life. This includes her “chaotic childhood in the boom-and-bust world of professional wrestling”. The overview specifically notes that the book will cover her family’s “brush with homelessness,” offering a look at the side of the wrestling business not often seen by fans.
A significant portion of the memoir will be dedicated to her father, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart. The book will candidly detail “her father’s battles with addiction and other effects of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, leading to his eventual sudden death, and how they shaped her”.
The memoir will also address her “struggle to navigate the complex dynamics between the Hart family and WWE”. This includes the aftermath of two of the most discussed events in wrestling history: the Montreal Screwjob involving her uncle Bret, and the tragic death of her uncle Owen Hart in 1999.
Neidhart will also write about the near-fatal, career-ending in-ring injury sustained by her husband, TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd). Wilson, a fellow Hart Dungeon graduate and WWE producer, has been a central part of her life and career, and the book will explore the impact of that event on their lives.
As the longest-serving woman on the WWE roster, Neidhart has a unique viewpoint on the evolution of women’s wrestling. The book will detail her “front-row seat to the rise of women’s wrestling and the resilience it took to thrive as a female wrestler at a time when what you looked like on screen was more important than how talented you were between the ropes”.
The publisher’s overview promises a story that covers the full spectrum of a life in wrestling. It states that the book “pulls no punches when it comes to the drama, hilarity, and outright mayhem of life inside the ring and out”.
The book has already received high praise from many of Neidhart’s peers in WWE. Cody Rhodes wrote, “Nattie is none of those things [arrogant, egotistical, and delusional]… I’m so excited for everyone to finally learn how Nattie took on the incredible task of furthering the Hart legacy”. Beth Phoenix, a WWE Hall of Famer, stated, “Nattie Neidhart was not just a part of the women’s revolution, she was the architect of its design”.
Other superstars echoed those sentiments. Bianca Belair called it “more than just a wrestling story,” while Bayley, Liv Morgan, and Nia Jax all praised the book for its honesty, humor, and emotional depth. Bayley noted, “I thought I knew everything about her (she’s one of my best friends!), but I found myself laughing, crying, and texting her mid-chapter”.
