Natalya, a stalwart of WWE’s women’s division since her debut in 2008, has been a hard worker and dedicated professional, earning a devoted fanbase. However, her booking has taken a turn for the worse in recent times, leading to widespread criticism. Despite her continuous efforts to improve, Natalya has been made to look weak in various storylines, leaving fans concerned about her future in the company.
Konnan, a wrestling personality, recently spoke candidly about Natalya’s situation on his Keepin’ It 100 podcast, expressing his disapproval of WWE’s handling of the situation. “I just think she deserves better,” he stated, “they just sh*t on her constantly.” His sentiments are echoed by many fans who have grown tired of seeing Natalya underutilized and undervalued.
Natalya’s recent title challenge to Rhea Ripley’s SmackDown Women’s Championship at Night of Champions was a perfect example of her being booked poorly. Despite being a former champion herself, Natalya was defeated in under a minute, leaving her reeling from the disappointment. Since then, her confidence has taken a hit, and it’s clear that she’s still grappling with the aftermath.

While Natalya remains committed to WWE, her current situation is a far cry from her heyday as a respected and formidable competitor. Fans are left wondering if WWE will indeed give her the career-defining opportunity she so rightfully deserves. Only time will tell if the company will finally recognize Natalya’s worth and provide her with a suitable push.
As for Konnan’s comments, they’ve sparked a heated debate among fans, with many agreeing that Natalya has been unfairly treated by WWE. The question remains: will WWE be able to redeem Natalya and provide her with the recognition she so desperately craves? Only time will tell.
