15 Wrestlers’ Daughters Following In Their Parents’ Footsteps

2. Natalya (Jim €œThe Anvil€ Neidhart)

It€™s surprising to learn that Natalya has been on the WWE roster for more than six years and has just one Divas Championship reign to show for it. However, fans were probably just as surprised six years ago to learn that the blond wrestling prodigy is the daughter of Jim €œThe Anvil€ Neidhart. Thankfully for her, there isn€™t a strong resemblance. Natalya is a third-generation wrestler, the first of her kind in WWE (if you exclude Stephanie McMahon). She is from the legendary Hart Family and is generally regarded as the best woman wrestler on the roster. Despite her lone championship, her value to WWE goes far beyond the titles. She€™s one of the stars of Total Divas and has helped train several of the women on the show €“ the Bella Twins, JoJo and Eva Marie. Natalya could be considered the anchor of the Divas division. Regardless of titles, Natalya is on course to be an eventual Hall of Fame inductee if she continues her career in WWE. It would be great, however, if she got another run in a division more focused on in-ring competition as opposed to advancing Total Divas storylines.
