“For those asking about Natalya, we are told she has locked in her new deal with the company.”

    Isn’t TJ a producer/road agent for them? I don’t see her leaving by choice so long as they can both be employed together. It’s crazy though to think how long her career has been with WWE, what is it now, 15-16 years, that’s a long time for a women’s wrestler in Vince’s WWE.

      He is, does a lot of the women’s roster stuff, think he’s their main producer at this point. She’s most likely got a job for life if she wants it, even post-ring as a trainer (given she probably trains a good chunk of em now lol), so I’m not surprised she re-signed.

      A small update:

      The deal was completed late last month. Despite not being backstage at Monday’s episode of WWE RAW, she had already signed a new contract by then.

      Natalya and WWE began talks back in May. The main hold up was that she wanted to make sure the outside projects she has been working on were part of the deal. Natalya’s new contract is set to be for multiple years.

      While most of those in WWE expected her to stay, there was interest from AEW and other companies.

    Her leaving for another company would be almost as shocking as Michael Cole or HHH leaving for another company. If she wants to hang up her boots, that’s another thing.
