Natalya Neidhart is one of the most popular and richest Professional Wrestler who was born on May 27, 1982 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Natalie Katherine Neidhart Wilson (born May 27, 1982 in Canada) is an American professional wrestler who currently works under the ringname Natalya for WWE. She has held the SmackDown Women’s Championship twice and the Divas Championship once, making her a two-time Women’s champion in WWE.
She began her work for Stampede Wrestling in 2003. This started a long feud with Belle Livitz. They fought each other several times, including in a match at Prairie Wrestling Alliance where Neidhart was paired with her father, Jim “The anvil” Neidhart against Lovitz, Apocalypse, and another match. However, in 2004, Neidhart & Lovitz created a tag team and wrestled several intergender matches against Anna and Ma Myers as well as against The Meyers Brothers.
On October 8, 2006, Neidhart won the SuperGirls Championship from Lisa Moretti at a Big Time Wrestling show held by NWA: Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling in Newark, California. She held the championship for 19 days, before losing it to Nikki Matthews on October 27 in Surrey, British Columbia. Also in October 2006, she debuted in the all-female promotion, Shimmer Women Athletes. She lost to Sara Del Rey at the tapings of Volume 7, but defeated “The Portuguese Princess” Ariel at the Volume 8 tapings.
On January 5, 2007, Neidhart signed a contract with WWE. Upon signing she was assigned to their developmental territory Deep South Wrestling for the first half of the year, competing against wrestlers including Krissy Vaine and Angel Williams. She was briefly transferred to Florida Championship Wrestling when it opened in June, and then moved to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), debuting in a dark match at the television tapings on July 18, 2007, where she won a battle royal. She debuted the next week as a member of the Next Generation Hart Foundation, accompanying her cousins Teddy Hart and Harry Smith for tag team matches. In September, she and the rest of the Hart Foundation were moved back to FCW. Initially, Neidhart formed an alliance with Victoria Crawford to take on The Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie Bella), but in 2008, the pair began competing against one another, either in singles matches or in tag team matches with various partners. She continued to make appearances in FCW in late 2008, after debuting on SmackDown, and managed TJ Wilson and DH Smith (Harry Smith) to the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship on October 30.
Neidhart, the first female third-generation wrestler in the entire world, is a Hart family member through her mother. Under the guidance of Ross Hart and Bruce Hart, she trained in the Hart family Dungeon. She worked in the Matrats promotion between 2000 and 2001 before joining Stampede Wrestling as a pro wrestler in 2003. She fought in Japan and England in 2004 and 2005. She was the Stampede Women’s Pacific Champion in June 2005 and the SuperGirls Champion the next year, October 2006.
