10 Most Boring WWE Wrestlers Of 2018

You'll quickly spot a trend in most of the entries here. The vast majority (if not all) have one thing in common: they were handed just one character trait by creative and expected to make the best of a bad, mundane situation. Natalya, as solid as she can be with the right opponents, is the perfect example.

What did she do in 2018 aside from pal around with Ronda Rousey and try in vain to get The Riott Squad over?

When researching this piece, this writer revisited some of Natalya's work from a few years ago, and the results were surprising. At Roadblock 2016 (the house show special that aired on the Network, not the later pay-per-view), she dazzled opposite Charlotte Flair in a match for the Divas Title that showed the way for women going forward. That was Nattie leading by example.

There was little of that leadership last year. Instead, Natalya showed up, grinned like a goof about her friendship with a celebrity incomer then worked matches that lacked true passion. Something is missing from her act and her own work.
