Consuming more than 15 years of one’s career in the WWE is something big and Natalya did it effortlessly. It takes a lot of determination to even make it in the WWE but once the Hart Dungeon member did so, she captured the spot for years to follow and thus cemented her veteran status. She’s often dubbed as the most veteran female wrestler that the locker room has to offer.

Natalya has gone through a number of eras in the WWE and hence she’s acquainted with a lot of backstage environments. The original belief is that she keeps a good rapport with almost everybody in the women’s locker room. However, the latest update around the Canadian Superstar isn’t going to please her huge fanbase.

Ringside News has recently been told that Natalya has developed a reputation that tends to create “more and more of a problem with producers and writers.” Apparently, there’s a lot more unheard story to the bygone live event in Sacramento where she opted to no-selling Liv Morgan’s Oblivion finisher. The exact reason for doing so never came out and it was told that the issues have been sorted out.

A tenured member of the writing team informed the source that “Nattie was a serious problem backstage last Friday, so bad that several producers and writers were talking about whether they go straight to Vince McMahon, observe protocol and go to Bruce Prichard.” It was noted that since the former head of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis is gone, the question is who will step up to instruct Natalya about her behavioral issues.

There were also considerations of going to TJ Wilson, Natalya’s husband to resolve the issue “as a courtesy and see if he can get involved since she’s being unprofessional and harassing the writers and producers.” The source was further told that the former SmackDown Women’s Champion was complaining that “she gets her role, and understands what’s needed, but she’s treated like a ‘jobber’.”

This is a fact that Natalya has been used as a talent who keeps on putting over other talents. She wants to get over from this role and kept “pushing for answers,” but then “when she gets in front of Vince McMahon, she babyfaces Vince and does the old ‘I’m grateful for the opportunity, I’m fortunate to be here for so long’ routine.”

Ringside News was also told that no-selling Liv Morgan’s finisher in Sacramento “was unprofessional and got squashed quickly because Nattie probably knew she exposed her rotten attitude with that moment that was caught on tape.” Natalya did respond to the issue but she never really offered any explanation over it on social media.

The producers and writers aren’t very pleased with a veteran like Natalya throwing such issues. They have already been dealing with issues with other female superstars and they don’t want another trusted shoulder to stay on the problematic side.
