10 Wrestlers That Should Ask WWE For Their Release

4. Natalya

It€™s pretty clear that WWE have no spot open for Nattie Neidhart on the main roster any longer. She€™s thirty-four this year, a sixteen year veteran and a main roster WWE Diva for eight years. Right now, WWE€™s female division has never had a higher profile, despite their faults in presenting it so far. Has Natalya been the focus of that progress? Have the WWE chosen to market the Diva most identified with €˜being a proper€™ wrestler over the last few years as the centrepiece of the Diva€™s division? Of course not. And the promotion of Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks to the main roster, along with the presence of Paige and the lurking possibility of more Bellas in the future€ all of that renders Natalya an also-ran on the main roster, a veteran without a spot anywhere except on the Total Divas show, where her bizarre crazy-cat-lady character is literally the most obnoxious thing on the worst show that WWE have a hand in. There are so many opportunities for female wrestlers - something Nattie Neidhart absolutely is, over and above being a Diva - that there weren€™t when she was first signed. She should investigate some of those possibilities, before her best years as a wrestler are behind her. What she€™s been told to do for the last few years in WWE has been beneath her as a performer and as a representative of the Hart legacy.
