Natalya: Bianca Belair Was The First Person To Read My Book, She Said It Was Powerful

Natalya reveals that Bianca Belair was the first person to read her book.

On Tuesday, October 28, Natalya’s book ‘The Last Hart Beating’ will release to the reading public. The book will dive into Natalya’s decades-long journey through life and the world of wrestling.

As it turns out, Natalya got Bianca Belair to read the book’s manuscript while they were overseas together.

“That’s the thing is that when people are reading the book, they’re going, ‘I have a whole new respect and a whole different perspective of your life and of who you are.’ The very first person actually to read my book was Bianca Belair. We were on an overseas trip together and we were just talking about the book and just chatting back and forth. I told her I was writing a book and I said, ‘Actually, I just finished it. Do you want to take a look at the manuscript?’ and she said, ‘Yeah, I’d love to.’ She read the book in two days and she was so excited. Every single chapter, she would be like, texting me and like, ‘I can’t believe this and I need to talk about this and what happened.’” Natalya told Fightful in a new interview.

Natalya continued on and said that Belair wished she had read the book before she started her wrestling career.

“She’s like, ‘I read it so fast. It was such an easy read.’ But she’s like, ‘I have a million questions. I had no idea that this was your life.’ So she even got a little emotional about it. She’s like, ‘This is something that I need. Like, I needed this book.’ She goes, ‘I wish I would have read this book before I started my career in WWE because this book lifted me up so much. It’s so powerful.’ I never forgot about what Bianca said about the book because what she took away from the book is exactly what I want every reader to take away. There’s a very strong story. The book is not so much about wrestling. It’s more about relationships. Wrestling is the backdrop of the book. It’s a lot about relationships and people in my life. It’s a lot about the people in my life that helped me grow—the good and the bad—they helped me grow so much.”
