WWE veteran Natalya spoke with Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture on a number of topics, including her 18 year anniversary in the company.
Natalya said, “I’m so grateful that I’ve seen so many different eras in WWE. In 2008 I debuted. I was signed in 2007. I’ve worked and seen so many different women come and come and go, and I’ve worked with over 65 different women. I love what I do, and so when you love what you do, you never really feel like you’re at work. Time has just flown. On my 18th anniversary of my contract signing, Nick Khan, he’s, of course, in charge at WWE, sent me the nicest text. He was just like, ‘I’m so proud of you. Thank you for all you do.’”
On how she believes we are in the greatest era of WWE:
“It reminded me of this new era of gratitude, of appreciation, of my boss, who probably has 1,000,001 things going on in the world, saying, ‘Hey, thank you. You’re doing awesome. We appreciate you. Keep up the great work.’ It just reminded me that we’re in, truly, the greatest era in WWE. This Netflix era is transcending. It’s a huge time for the industry, and I’m so happy that I’ve been able to stick around for all of it and to feel appreciated is one of the best feelings in the world. So I just feel so happy, more than anything, and so grateful.”
