Natalya Neidhart - 15 Years in WWE Creating her Own Legacy
Natalya debuted in 2007, As of this writing Natalya has been with the number one wrestling company in the world WWE for over 15 Years.
What an amazing incredible achievement she is one of the longest serving active wrestlers in WWE and is continuing to have matches week in and week out for fans all over USA and the world.
Natalya career achievements in WWE so far are
SmackDown Women's Champion - 2017
Divas Champion - 2010

In addition Natalya is in the Guinness Book of Records for Having the most matches of any female in WWE EVER and most wins of any WWE Female Wrestler in History (From 411 Maina)

I think Natalya biggest achievement along with Lacey Evans was the first ever WWE Woman's match to be held in the country of Saudi Arabia. It was a true moment in history not just for WWE but for Saudi Arabia and the world. It was a moment that goes beyond wrestling and Natalya got a chance to deliver that, that means more than any world title and is something that will be talked about in years to come as something truly ground-breaking.
From WWE Youtube see the video below of the start of this historic match
I think personally that Natalya should of had more titles in WWE and there is still lots more time for her to do that, but I don't think that Natalya should be defined by just her title reigns.
There is so much more to her that WWE hasn't utilised in the best of ways over the years. Natalya has had to overcome some awful storyline situations she has been put in (the passing wind storyline which was horrible in my opinion and to put her in that position was disrespectful) + all the crazy stuff with great Khali and also I would imagine lots of internal politics that go with the job too.
That to me shows the incredible character and strength that Natalya must have not only to overcome that, but push past it and to excel past it, to recover from situations like that and turn them on their head isn't something everyone can do and continue to be a huge success in WWE.
Natalya is one a very few who have been in WWE and crossed over from DIVA to still be a WWE Woman's Superstar today. That transition I believe was perfect for Natalya because Natalya was the Woman's revolution before the revolution happened I think it helped her alot as it was able to showcase her in the best way possible.

In my opinion like Dolph Ziggler, being the person WWE rely on to have a great match with anyone, that to me is where the skill of Natalya lies. Natalya can have great matches with anyone, she is relied upon by the company to deliver excellent matches whoever she is in the ring with being constantly technically excellent.

Look at some of the amazing matches Natayla has had with Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Paige, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Ronda Rousey and so many more. Natalya had matches with these women at different times of their careers alot of them starting out in their careers and so may have credited Natalya for helping them get better in the ring and for helping them develop into better professional wrestlers. I hope Natalya takes great pride in that because she has contributed to creating and making a better WWE Woman's Division.
To be in any job for 15 years you have to be good, however If you are in WWE for 15 years you have to be damm good at what you do, and Natalya is that good.
