Nattie On Nearing 20 Years In WWE: ‘No Other Woman Has Been An Active Part Of The Women’s Division For As Long As I Have’

Nattie says no other woman in WWE has had her longevity.

Next year, Nattie will complete 20 years in WWE. She first signed with the company in January 2007 and has been working for them continuously ever since. 

During an interview with TV Insider, the WWE star commented on approaching this milestone.

“It’s extremely rare and uninterrupted. It’s not calling anyone out or throwing shade on anyone, but when I hear people go I’ve been in wrestling for 20 years. Okay, but have you been in wrestling uninterrupted for this long. I started my career and training in 2000 with my family in ‘The Dungeon.’ I know I’m dating myself, but I did start very young. I’ve been with WWE in January 2027 for 20 years, signed and uninterrupted, which is unprecedented. No other woman has done it. No other woman has been an active part of the women’s division for as long as I have. That’s why when I give someone credit like a Shayna Baszler, I’m not bullsh*tting anyone. I know Shayna is tough and among the most dangerous because I’ve been through everyone who has come through WWE over the last 20 years. I know because I’ve locked up against these women, fought against them, shared locker rooms with these women, put matches together, and experienced all these personalities. It’s something I’m very proud of. I heard Triple H do his interview with Cody Rhodes. It was really cool because it got me thinking that I sometimes forget my own body of work. When Triple H says sometimes talent don’t realize all that they’ve done. Not everyone is going to be on everything all the time, but you think about how you’ve achieved so much. I thought, ‘Man, I’ve achieved so much.’ But I’m not comfortable resting on the things I’ve achieved and just sitting with it. And being like I’m done. There is so much more I want to achieve. I can say I’ve done this and that and won these championships. For Nattie, if I didn’t continue to fight, push, grow, evolve, push myself to be challenged by different things like being a coach on LFG, which is a first for me in WWE, I wouldn’t be the performer I am today. The second you start fighting for your dreams is the second that it’s over.”

In another interview, Mercedes Martinez named Nattie as a dream opponent for her. Fans can check her comments here.
