Natalya

Natalya, a third-generation professional wrestler, has built a notable career in WWE, securing multiple championships and earning recognition for her consistent performance in the ring. After becoming the inaugural Stampede Women’s Pacific Champion in 2005, Natalya swiftly established herself as a formidable talent in professional wrestling. A third-generation professional wrestler, she received her foundational training in the esteemed Hart wrestling family’s ‘Dungeon’ under the guidance of her uncles, Ross and Bruce Hart, notably becoming the first woman to achieve this. Her early career saw her serving as a ring announcer and host for the Matrats promotion from 2000 to 2001, before transitioning to in-ring competition.

Her championship pedigree continued in 2021 when, alongside Tamina, she captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Her unparalleled commitment and longevity in professional wrestling are underscored by her recognition as the longest-tenured female WWE wrestler, having been with the company since 2007, and by holding an impressive six Guinness World Records for a female WWE wrestler. These records include most pay-per-view appearances (75), most matches (1514), most wins (663), most Raw matches (174), most SmackDown matches (200), and most WrestleMania matches (8). Beyond her extensive in-ring accomplishments, Natalya is a dedicated advocate for various social causes, actively supporting WWE and The Creative Coalition’s Be a STAR Alliance, Make-A-Wish, Susan G.

Komen, and the WrestleMania Reading Challenge. She continues to compete at the highest level and contribute significantly to the wrestling world, solidifying her status as a leading figure in sports entertainment.
