Natalya recently attacked a fan at a major non-WWE event.
With close to 25 years under her belt as a professional wrestler, Natalya Neidhart is a seasoned veteran. She has done it all and seen it all. She has been both cheered and booed by some of the biggest live audiences across the world. However, recently she was pushed a bit too far by a fan, resulting in a shocking attack.
The Hart family member recently made her NWA debut at the NWA Crockett Cup. She took on Kenzie Page for the NWA Women’s Championship, but failed to capture the title. Following the match, though, fans were left stunned as Natalya approached a fan and slapped him across the face.

Footage of the slap quickly circulated online, with many questioning if it was real or scripted, and more importantly, what the fan could’ve possibly said to her to be attacked so viciously. Fortunately, Ringside News confirmed that it was all scripted, as the 42-year-old later posed for a photo with the fan after the event.
Safe to say the former SmackDown Women’s Champion deserves praise. After all, she had quite a few fans convinced that the “attack” was real.
Natalya has seemingly joined the Alpha Academy stable
Although Natalya has been performing outside WWE, she is still very much signed to the company. While her last match was more than a month ago, she has been making appearances on TV, particularly backstage, where she has seemingly allied with Alpha Academy.
On this week’s episode of RAW, she was spotted backstage alongside Maxxine Dupri, comforting Akira Tozawa. This has many wondering if she could soon become an official member of the stable.
It certainly is a possibility, but at the end of the day, it’s up to Triple H and WWE Creative to decide what the plans are for the veteran superstar going forward.
