As the final negotiation between her and WWE continued, it was further reported that Natalya Neidhart was expected to get considerable offers outside of the WWE should she decide not to re-sign. If that was the case then it would indeed be a significant loss for the NXT locker room where she has been acting as a mentor to the emerging talents.
Being a pillar figure of the WWE women’s locker room, Natalya Neidhart’s departure from the scene was supposed to create a big void in the scene as she barely used to be a talent only but held multiple roles. Apart from winning several championships in the company, she is also a multiple Guinness World-record holder after spending so many years with the company.
After teasing the WWE departure on social media, Natalya Neidhart eventually decided to stay with the company which appeared to be a ruse to her global fanbase. While some may be disappointed that she won’t be going to AEW or other company to explore different capacities, it will be interesting to see is WWE finds any different way to use the veteran on their TV programming.
