Natalya: Age, Height, Relationship Status & More Things To Know About Her (2024)

It feels like Natalya has been in WWE forever. She has been a constant of the women’s division for nearly two decades at this point, remaining as one of the few who managed to successfully make the transition from the “Divas” Era to the more progressive women’s division that fans see today.

There is a lot to know about Natalya, especially with her history in WWE stretching so many years. Both inside and outside of the company, there are both professional and personal facts and bits of information that fans will find interesting about one of the best technicians and all round solid in-ring workers WWE has ever seen.

Over The Years Natalya Has Found Success In WWE

Natalya is a wrestler who found success in different eras of women’s wrestling whilst still managing to (aside from a farting gimmick) remain true to herself as a great in-ring performer pretty consistently. Back in 2010, Natalya got her hands on the Divas Championship, holding it for just over two months.

Seven years later in 2017, Natalya won the SmackDown Women’s Championship, having a slightly longer reign this time around. She is a two-time world champion, though it does admittedly feel unlikely for her to get her hands on a top prize again at this point.

Much of her life was brought to the forefront, notably her relationship with Tyson Kidd (which we will get to later) and several dramas with other female wrestlers on the roster. Some of this made its way to WWE programming, for instance on the WrestleMania 32 pre-show where Team Total Divas (with Natalya involved) took on Team Bad & Blonde in tag team action.
