Nattie Neidhart is on her way to WWE TV.
With WWE becoming increasingly relaxed about allowing their talent to work selected independent dates while under contract, one performer making the most of the opportunity is Natalya. Billed as Nattie Neidhart and using the ‘Lowkey Legend’ moniker, the former SmackDown Women’s Champion has competed for the likes of GCW, NWA, and ROW in 2025.
After hints that the gimmick might be introduced on WWE programming, WrestleVotes Radio via Fightful Select have now reported that Neidhart’s work on the independent scene has attracted the attention of key decision makers within the company.
“Natalya’s work as the ‘Lowkey Legend’ across several different promotions quickly caught the attention of upper management, including how well it was being received by fans everywhere, both in-person and online through social media. The decision was then made to bring the character to WWE TV with hopes that Nattie will be a vital part and a strong part of the women’s division going forward, obviously kicking off here with the storyline with Maxxine Dupri.”

The December 1 edition of Monday Night RAW featured a vignette showing new WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Maxxine Dupri training with Natalya, who appeared to be leaning more heavily into her Nattie Neidhart presentation.
Meanwhile, Ivy Nile was told by Adam Pearce during the show that she will challenge Dupri for the title on next Monday’s episode, so it is unlikely we will have to wait long to see the results of what appeared to be an intense training session.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on future plans for Natalya as soon as we hear more.
