Although Natalya came up short in her WrestleMania Women’s Showcase Match, she celebrated a great milestone that night, which was her 13th WrestleMania appearance and 11th match at the Showcase Of The Immortals. This is an amazing feat for any woman in WWE. And on the next day, she achieved yet another milestone.
This Monday marked exactly 15 years that she has been with WWE. The Queen Of Harts took to Twitter to celebrate her longevity with the company. She said the following in her Tweet:
“Today marks my 15 years on the WWE main roster. 15 years of doing what I love, in front of the audience I love doing it for. I learned early that real legacy isn’t counting what you got from the business, it’s knowing what you put back in—and I’ve been blessed ever since.”
Natalya also shared a tweet on the night of her match at WrestleMania 39, which marked her 13th appearance at The Show Of Shows. It’s also to be noted that it was her tag team partner, Shotzi’s first WrestleMania appearance and Natalya said that she was proud to be able to share Shotzi’s first appearance at Mania.
Natalya began her journey in the WWE when she signed with the promotion in 2007 and made her in-ring debut in 2008. She comes from the legendary Hart Family. She’s the daughter of Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart and the niece of Bret Hart and Owen Hart. She was also a part of The Hart Dynasty, consisting of T J Wilson and David Hart Smith.
Although she doesn’t have many championships under her belt, she is still the longest-active wrestler in WWE. She won the Divas Championship in 2010 and the SmackDown Women’s Championship in 2017 after defeating Naomi at SummerSlam. She also won the Women’s Tag Team Championship along with Tamina.
Natalya has also held 3 Guinness Book Of World Records for the most pay-per-view appearances, most matches, and most wins. She is the only female wrestler with such a feat and longevity at WWE.
