You’ll be forgiven if you thought the Queen of Harts has always fought under her first name only.

But for a few weeks after her initial 2008 debut, Natalya went by her full name, paying homage to her father, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart. Shortly after that debut, she would shorten her name to just Natalya, which it has remained for the past decade.

At the same time, WWE has never shied away from her family heritage, repeatedly pointing out that she’s Anvil’s daughter and the niece of Bret “Hitman” Hart. But for whatever, reason WWE has decided that her last name isn’t notable enough to use it, ala Charlotte Flair.
