When looking at the women’s division, WWE has a mix of veteran of fresh names. Although, there is no female wrestler who has been with the company longer than Natalya. She started in their developmental system in January 2007 and quickly was called to the main roster. Since then, she remains with WWE but that could be changing rather soon.
We have noted how Natalya is yet to re-sign. Both sides are talking, although neither have made enough progress as there is no ink to paper. In what seems like a telling sign, Natalya removed WWE from her social media accounts. Now, this is vital because she heavily uses social media to interact with fans. We have seen this in past from other wrestlers, who are departing WWE. However, we must note she is still a member of the company.
Hart Family Has Long History In WWE
While Natalya could land anywhere and sign, I always figured she sticks with WWE. The Hart Family is part of pro wrestling and its history. Her husband, Tyson Kidd, is basically a lifer for WWE after get injured inside the ring and not be medically cleared. I figured she would transition to a similar backstage role.
There seems a decent chance the long-time WWE employee could exit. If so, I could see working around the world for like a year or two. Therefore, she gets to compete against opponents she has never wrestled and probably would not get the chance if she remained with WWE. At the end of the day, she knows what promotion is family. So, anyone think Natalya will let her WWE contract lapse and go elsewhere?
