WWE Star Taking Inspiration From Mick Foley’s Cactus Jack

A WWE veteran is looking to follow in Mick Foley’s footsteps.

Throughout 2025, Natalya has been competing outside of WWE for the first time in almost two decades.

Alongside her regular appearances on Raw, the veteran has also wrestled in the NWA, Reality of Wrestling, and twice in GCW. Most recently, she grabbed a win over Masha Slamovich at Bloodsport XIV.

While wrestling outside of WWE, the star has competed under the name “Nattie Neidhart,” while showcasing a more vicious and violent character. However, those two worlds could be about to meet.

Natalya Wants To Bring “Nattie” To WWE

During a new interview with Cauliflower Alley Club TV, Natalya discussed her appearances outside of WWE and new plans for her “Nattie Neidhart” character. The star explained that she’s taken inspiration for her Nattie persona from Mick Foley, while confirming that she wants to bring it to WWE.

“I really want to bring Nattie to WWE. I definitely want to bring her to WWE. I think Nattie has to be handled very carefully because the second we bring her to WWE and we don’t have a good game plan, I think we can lose the character, so we have to handle her very carefully.

A big part of the inspiration for this character came from Mick Foley when he was Mick Foley in WWE and outside of WWE, he was Cactus Jack. I think a lot about Mick Foley and the contrast between those two characters and the creativity where it’s like, he can morph back into both of them. He can do both of them, he can play both of them.

I want to bring Nattie to WWE, we just have to make sure that the women of the division can handle Nattie because I’m not sure all of them can hang with Nattie.”

It’s been announced that Natalya will challenge for AAA’s Reina de Reinas Championship. At Triplemania XXXIII, the star will battle champion Lady Flammer and Faby Apache. In the main event, WWE stars Dominik Mysterio, El Grande Americano, and Dragon Lee will attempt to win the Mega Championship in a four-way match with champion El Hijo del Vikingo.

Meanwhile, Corey Graves and JBL will be calling the action when the show airs on WWE’s YouTube channel.
