Natalya Neidheart

Natalie Katherine "Nattie" Neidhart is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to WWE under the name Natalya. She is the daughter of WWE Legend Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and the niece of Bret "The Hitman" Hart. In contrast with the majority of the WWE's female roster who were trained exclusively in their developmental leagues, Natalya was trained in her family's famous Dungeon and is to this day the only female graduate. In WWE she was the first 3rd-generation Diva and initially managed cousin DH Smith and real-life boyfriend Tyson Kidd as The Hart Dynasty but she entered the women's division when they split up and eventually became WWE Divas' Champion. She currently competes on the Smackdown brand.

Natalya Neidheart provides examples of the following tropes:

• All Women Love Shoes
• Arch Enemy: First Lay Cool. Then the "Barbie Doll" Divas.
  • Her and Alicia Fox have actually wrestled each other more times than any other combination of Divas on the roster, (Beth Phoenix and Kelly Kelly coming in second) with eleven singles matches in addition to all their tag matches. Natalya's in the lead right now with 6-5 in victories.
• Armour Piercing Slap: To Vince McMahon nonetheless. Has said it was one of the favourite moments of her career. This was also how Melina turned heel on her.
• Bare Your Midriff
• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: A small aversion with her new farting gimmick.
• Butt Monkey: Towards the end of 2011.
• Canada, Eh?: Averted. She is Canadian but doesn't have a hint of an accent.
• Canon Name: Neidhart was dropped from her name after about two weeks but she's still called that by fans.
• Cat Fight: Occasionally when she was a manager.
• Childhood Friend Romance: With Tyson Kidd.
• Cool Big Sis: She was this to AJ and Kaitlyn before she turned on them.
• Corpsing: Beth Phoenix had an unfortunate Wardrobe Malfunction on Smackdown and Natalya tries to cover up with a look of outrage but some chuckles seep through.
• Cute Bruiser
• Demoted to Extra
• Designated Girl Fight: WWE would often add other Divas to teams the Hart Dynasty were feuding with so Nattie would have something to do. Eve Torres, Maria Kanellis and Tamina are examples.
• Evil Redhead
• Face Heel Double Turn: Twice. First in her feud with Michelle McCool she was heel and Michelle was face, then they feuded two years later with the roles reversed. Ditto with Tamina.
• Fan Nickname: Nattie to her more affectionate fans.
  • Aside from being an informal shorthand for Natalie/Natalya, this used to be in her ring name.
• Fan Service Pack: She got really pretty towards the end of 2010.
• The Fashionista: In real life.
• Finishing Move: The Sharpshooter. Sometimes a powerbomb or Discus Clothesline.
• Gasshole: Gained this gimmick in late 2011. Her father Tweeted that he has no idea why the WWE higher-ups would do something like this.
• Girliness Upgrade
• Girly Bruiser: Wears more pink than any other Diva (pink and black are the Harts' colours) and outside of the ring has an insane amount of shoes in her collection yet not any less of a badass.
• Hairstyle Malfunction: She and Alicia Fox really love doing this to each other.
• Heel Face Revolving Door
• Hollywood Pudgy: Subverted mostly since she is a bit larger than the other Divas but the only time this has been mentioned is Lay Cool getting some cheap heat.
• In-Series Nickname: Jim Ross often called her "The Anvilette".
• Kick the Dog: With Beth Phoenix they loved to trap the other Divas in painful looking submission holds and hold up the house mic to hear them scream.
• Kindhearted Cat Lover
• Lovely Angels: With Beth Phoenix first as faces at the end of 2010 and they reformed in 2011 as the Divas of Doom.
• Muscles Are Meaningful
• Pink Means Feminine: Inverted. Pink and black are the Hart family's colours and she wears more pink than any other Diva. It makes her even more badass.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse
• Plenty of Blondes: Realised this in 2008 and dyed her hair red to stand out. She's back to blonde now.
• The Pollyanna: As a face.
• Seinfeld Is Unfunny: Subverted. It's still an impressive sight to see a Diva doing the Sharpshooter so she still receives great pops whenever she locks it on.
• She Cleans Up Nicely: She's not really held up as one of the pretty Divas but damn she looks fine when she wants to Case in point.
• Slasher Smile: Has a very effective one as a heel.
• Smurfette Breakout: Benefited from this when the Hart Dynasty split and was integrated into the women's division. In a twist, her breakout happened alongside the break-up instead of after it.
• Stalker with a Crush: Hilariously on Mickie James's "Road To WrestleMania" on Smackdown vs Raw 2010, a Recycled Script of Mickie's feud with Trish Stratus.
• Team Mom: Alicia Fox dubs her this role on Total Divas.
• Ted Baxter
• Tomboy: For the first two years of her career though this has been dropped now. She's not like that in real life at all.
• The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter
• Villain Team-Up: With Beth Phoenix to form Divas of Doom.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Got a big one when she turned on AJ.
  • On Total Divas, Natalie was in a host of fear after believing a brownie that she ate was laced with pot, it wasn’t. In order to delay an upcoming drug test, she drives into a trash bin on purpose, promptly Ariane to give Natalie the look.
• Wrestling Family: Grandfather is Stu Hart, father is Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, uncles are Bret and Owen Hart, cousin is DH Smith (son of the British Bulldog), you get the picture.
• You Go, Girl!: Once on a random episode of Superstars gave Jimmy Wang Yang a body slam, to a huge pop from the crowd.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair: When she allied herself with the Hart Dynasty she gave herself pink streaks in her hair.
