Veteran WWE Superstar Natalya has signalled her intent to reclaim a world championship, ending a seven-year drought since her last title reign. At 42 years old, the former WWE Divas and SmackDown Women’s Champion recently reflected on her career milestones and declared it’s time to prioritize her ambitions once more.
Taking to social media, the Canadian grappler shared a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), drawing attention to her journey. “14 years ago, I won my first title. People did right by me that night, and I’ve been trying to do the same in return my whole career,” Natalya wrote. “It took me 7 more years to win my next, and that was 7 years ago. Maybe it’s time I stopped training champions and chased it myself again.”

As a cornerstone of WWE’s women’s division, Natalya has spent nearly 18 years building a legacy that includes countless accolades and Guinness World Records. Renowned for her technical prowess and dedication to elevating emerging talent, she now appears ready to step back into the spotlight as a title contender.
Will Natalya challenge Liv Morgan?
This announcement positions Natalya as a potential challenger to current Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, who has dominated the RAW brand. Interestingly, Morgan recently offered high praise for Natalya, listing her as one of her top four picks for a hypothetical "Mount Rushmore" of women’s wrestling.
“She’s the past, the present, and the future,” Morgan stated during an interview with Billboard. “She’s been with WWE for almost 18 years. Do you know how incredible that is and what an incredible career that is? I think she’s the most decorated woman in WWE history... She gets better as she goes along.”
Morgan’s respect for Natalya sets an intriguing stage if the two were to clash in the ring. A match between the seasoned veteran and the rising star could blend Natalya’s legacy with Morgan’s current reign, creating a storyline rich in drama and history.
