The WWE universe is abuzz with uncertainty as Natalya’s contract situation remains in limbo. The veteran wrestler’s deal with the promotion is set to expire this year, and the latest update on her contract negotiations is not encouraging. Sean Ross Sapp, in a recent fan Q&A segment on Fightful Select, revealed that Natalya has not agreed to a new deal with the company yet.
Despite the setback, Sapp mentioned that negotiations are still ongoing between the two sides. However, the delay in reaching an agreement has sparked concerns about Natalya’s future with WWE.
The 39-year-old wrestler has been an integral part of the WWE roster since 2007, accumulating an impressive resume that includes Divas and SmackDown Women’s Championship titles, as well as a Women’s Tag Team Championship reign alongside Tamina. Her extensive experience and in-ring prowess have made her a fan favorite, and her departure would undoubtedly leave a void in the women’s division.
Recently, Natalya returned to the main roster on Monday Night Raw, where she lost to Iyo Sky in the first round of the Queen of the Ring tournament. Following the match, she broke character to praise Sky, whom she referred to as one of her favorite opponents to work with. The sentiment highlights Natalya’s professionalism and sportsmanship, which have earned her immense respect within the WWE community.
Natalya’s recent losses, including defeats to Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship and Lola Vince in an NXT Underground match, have raised questions about her role in the company’s future plans. As her contract situation remains unresolved, fans are holding their breath, hoping that a resolution is reached soon.
One thing is certain: Natalya’s departure would be a significant loss for WWE. Her wealth of experience, in-ring ability, and dedication to the craft make her an invaluable asset to the company. As the negotiations continue, fans and fellow wrestlers alike will be keeping a close eye on developments, hoping that a deal can be reached to keep Natalya in the WWE fold.
