The Hart Dungeon graduate is set to stay with WWE.
On Friday July 12th, PWInsider reported that Natalya had re-signed with WWE following speculation regarding his future, with multiple reports having previously noted that many within the company were surprised with how close she became to officially becoming a free agent.
Fightful Select have now corroborated this report, confirming that Natalya completed a deal to re-sign with WWE in late June shortly before her contract expired, with the deal having been in place prior to reports of her being absent from RAW last Monday.
“Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has confirmed PWInsider’s report that Natalya Neidhart has re-signed with WWE. The deal was completed in late June shortly before it expired. We noted that she was not at WWE Raw last week, but we’re told that there was already a deal in place by then. She has not been at any WWE shows since re-signing.”

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp additionally learned that WWE started talks with Natalya in May, with the 42-year-old looking to ensure that her outside projects lined up with the terms of the deal. It was also noted to be a multi-year deal.
Interestingly, the report adds that both Natalya and her husband and producer, TJ Wilson, had interest from outside of WWE, and that WWE leaned that losing Natalya was a real possibility, and thus they wanted to get her signed to a new long-term deal before she hit free agency.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on the future of Natalya as soon as we hear more.
