10 WWE Superstars Most Likely To Succeed In UFC

6. Natalya

Natalya is a terrific athlete in her own right even if she's sadly never been given the WWE push she deserves.

Still, she's done enough to demonstrate her technical prowess in the ring, and most tellingly, over the last few years Natalya has spent time training with the "Four Horsewomen" of MMA: Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir.

Natalya not only helped train the ladies to get fight-ready, but reportedly brushed up on her own grappling in return, something which would surely be put to terrific use in UFC. At 34 years of age, this would be just the right time to transition, too.

Chance Of Going To UFC: Most insiders believe that Natalya's wrestling career is probably winding down, and this is largely so she can be home with her husband, Tyson Kidd, who is still recovering from a devastating spinal injury from last year. That's probably her focus right now, and so MMA probably isn't even a thought, especially if she potentially wants children over the next few years. 3/10
