Natalya Expected to Receive Considerable Outside Interest as WWE Contract Nears End

Natalya has been a cornerstone of WWE’s women’s division since her debut in 2008, consistently maintaining a prominent presence throughout her tenure. However, with her WWE contract set to expire soon, it’s expected that she will garner considerable interest from promotions outside of WWE.

We have already reported that Natalya is at crossroads when it comes to her contract negotiations. She is ultimately weighing her options at the moment and there is no telling what she will do.

According to Fightful Select, WWE and Natalya are still in negotiations regarding her contract, which is set to expire in June. Despite her significant presence on NXT and a promising new direction on WWE Raw, as of Thursday, no new deal has been finalized.

There is anticipated to be considerable outside interest in Natalya from various global companies, potentially offering roles beyond just wrestling. There have been multiple inquiries about the possibility of Natalya participating in the Owen Hart Cup Tournament, with sources indicating that it is “plausible” depending on the tournament’s timing. However, there has been no confirmation from AEW on whether they expect her involvement

Natalya’s potential decision not to renew her contract would indeed be a significant loss, particularly for NXT, where she has played a crucial role as a mentor to emerging talent. Her departure would undoubtedly leave a noticeable void in the developmental brand. Fans will be eagerly awaiting news of her next career move, keen to see where her extensive experience and talent will take her next.
