WWE Star Natalya Reflects on Challenging Debut During Divas Era

Natalya, a longtime WWE star who debuted during the Divas Era in 2008, reflected that starting her career in today's wrestling environment would have been easier due to greater respect for wrestling under current leadership, particularly Triple H. She acknowledged the challenges of debuting during the Divas Era but credited it with teaching her grit and perseverance, as she faced multiple rejections before finally joining WWE. Natalya also revealed her desire to bring her more serious "Nattie" persona, which she has used on the independent circuit, to WWE programming, stating it is something she constantly thinks about. Additionally, she shared personal insights on how she fell in love with her husband and fellow wrestler TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd) through their intense training sessions together, emphasizing his support and encouragement. Despite the difficulties early in her career, Natalya has remained a staple in WWE's women's division, winning several championships and evolving alongside the company's growth in women's wrestling.
