After remaining on a hiatus for the past three months, Natalya Neidhart was back onboard on WWE Raw, this week assuring tons of her fans about her status with the company. There were uncertainties about her parting ways with the TKO-owned brand after her previous deal expired but the WWE ultimately signed her to a new contract, making the comeback happen.
While being away from the WWE in the early summer of 2024, Natalya Neidhart distanced herself from the company and it appears that she was up to something yet to be disclosed. Appearing in a conversation on Growing Up Von Erichs following her Raw appearance, Natalya commented on her return and what she was doing during this hiatus.

“I made my return back to the ring. I took the summer off, I was working on a couple of projects. We were back in Calgary, and that’s where my family started. It was so cool to make my re-debut in WWE back in Calgary,” Natalya Neidhart sounded emotional.
“My whole family was there, Bret (Hart) was on Raw. I was able to win my match for my team. It was cool. It’s always nice to be back home.” (quotes courtesy Fightful)
