Natalya made her return to WWE television although it didn’t involve stepping in the ring for a match.

It has been a busy year of WWE contract news with many big names in the company re-signing while others are moving on.

Natalya is the longest-tenured women’s wrestler in WWE going back to her main roster debut in April 2008. The veteran superstar was the subject of rumors about a possible WWE departure until it was reported that she signed a new contract that will keep the multiple-time Guinness World Record holder in the company for many more years.

Since signing her new WWE contract, Natalya hasn’t appeared on the Raw brand, which she is a part of. In fact, the last time Natalya wrestled on WWE TV was on the June 4th edition of NXT when she beat Izzi Dame in singles action.

WWE Video Package Features Natalya On SmackDown

The next WWE Premium Live Event is the Bash in Berlin show taking place in Germany on Saturday, August 31st.

On WWE SmackDown in Washington, DC, a video aired that was narrated by WWE superstar Natalya showing her uncle Bret Hart taking part in WWE shows in Germany in the 1990s. Natalya said that Bret told her that Germany had the best fans. On March 3rd, 1997, Raw was in Berlin as her uncles Owen Hart and “British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith competed to be the first European Champion. Bulldog got the win. It ended with Natalya saying that the German fans are making history again with the Bash in Berlin PLE next week.

In addition to her WWE job, Natalya is also working on other projects and helps train wrestlers along with her WWE Producer husband TJ Wilson. If you follow Natalya on Instagram then you know she often posts videos of various wrestlers training in “The Dungeon 2.0” on Wednesdays. Some of the wrestlers that train there are contracted WWE wrestlers, but there are also wrestlers from other companies and others who are there to gain more experience in a ring.
