Natalya, a prominent WWE star and the daughter of the late Jim Neidhart, recently revealed a touching gesture from her uncle, Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart.
The Hart Foundation, co-founded by Neidhart and Hart, left a significant mark in wrestling history, clinching the then-WWF Tag Team Championship twice.
Despite hailing from a wrestling dynasty, Natalya has carved her own path, securing titles like the SmackDown Women’s Championship, Divas Championship, and WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
After Jim Neidhart’s passing in 2018, his legacy lives on in the wrestling world. Natalya recently shared a heartfelt gift from Bret Hart, who drew a street art portrait of her late father during his visit to Australia. The artwork, depicting Jim Neidhart, deeply moved Natalya.
“Bret sent me this. He drew this street art of my dad on his recent trip to Australia. ❤️🇦🇺 ‘There’s this stretch of road in Melbourne that’s famous for its street art…’ 🖤💞@BretHart. So very special—,” she wrote.
Natalya Reflects on Bret Hart’s Connection to India
Natalya’s involvement in WWE’s Superstar Spectacle event in Hyderabad, India, showcased her enthusiasm for competing in a country her uncle Bret Hart cherished.
In an interview with Sony Sports Network’s Namaste India special, Natalya expressed her excitement about wrestling in India, citing it as one of Bret’s favorite wrestling destinations.
“Bret told me it’s one of his favorite places to visit because of the fans and I’ve been waiting to get to visit ever since,” said Natalya.

Despite an unsuccessful bid for the Women’s Championship against Roxanne Perez on NXT, Natalya’s journey in WWE continues. As she navigates her career, fans anticipate what the future holds for the accomplished 41-year-old wrestler.
