Natalya is undoubtedly a veteran in the professional wrestling industry. It’s not easy for any superstar to survive the game for over 15 years especially considering the fact that she started with the WWE when the least option was available for the female superstars. But she outlasted all the barriers and literally went through four separate eras in the WWE.
Natalya’s technicality inside the professional wrestling ring is something that can’t be denied. Being a bonafide heel of the WWE television, she often brags about her influence on the women’s division. After arriving on the NXT brand, she is boasting about the fact, once again.
Recently, the SK outlet posted on social media to point out how Natalya is the only woman in WWE history who has competed in all the three versions of the NXT brand. While reacting to the announcement, The Queen of Harts took to Twitter and bragged that she inspired all the NXT women.
“And in every version of NXT, they were all #InspiredByNatalya.”

Natalya claims to be the Best of All Time
NXT was originally kicked off as a competition for younger talents in 2010 but then it was rebranded with men and women’s champions starting in 2012. The black-and-yellow brand was kept intact last year until the NXT 2.0 was launched under the supervision of Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard.
The two creative heads planned to insert some of the main roster superstars into the third brand. As part of the process, Natalya ended up arriving at the show as she looks forward to working with the likes of Cora Jade, Nikkita Lyons, and many more.
Recently, Natalya spoke to Megan Morant for a SmackDown Exclusive where she stated that she feels like the NXT 2.0 stars are simply trying to take her job. Hence, she stepped up to protect her job by appearing on NXT in a process that was also mentioned as self-defense.
“It’s all these whiny girls at NXT crying, saying, ‘You know, Natalya inspired me to do this and Natalya inspired me to do that.’ That’s why I say, I never attacked Cora Jade. That was self-defense because all of these women that are fans one day, they’re competitors the next day looking to take my job. So Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays – I don’t get ready, I stay ready.”
