Being a second-generation athlete, professional wrestling comes naturally to Natalya Neidhart who went on to become the longest-tenured WWE female athlete of all time. For the very first time during her WWE stint, there were some uncertainties in the summer of 2024 after her previous deal with the company ran out.
There were some initial beliefs that Natalya Neidhart was looking forward to having some outside opportunities away from the WWE for the first time in almost two decades. However, proving those speculations wrong, she ended up signing a new contract with the WWE and made a subsequent return on TV.

This keeps on creating fluctuation in their mind just like she felt while making her return to the WWE.
“Before I went out through the curtain, I just had this little moment in my head where I was like ‘I’m nervous. I’m so nervous,'” Natalya Neidhart recalled. “People get surprised like ‘You still get nervous about doing this?’ And I’m like ‘Yeah, because I care so much.’ I think especially as a woman in the industry, it’s easy to put so much pressure on yourself, but I was also like ‘Nattie, you have to remember what brought you to the dance.’” (quotes courtesy Wrestling INC)
