Bianca Belair wants one longtime veteran in the WWE Hall of Fame before she retires.
After debuting on WWE’s main roster in April of 2008, Natalya has become the longest-tenured female wrestler in the company. She’s a former Divas Champion, SmackDown Women’s Champion, and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, and Natalya also has multiple Guinness World Records to her name.
Speaking in a new interview with Justin LaBar for TribLIVE, fellow history-making star Bianca Belair pitched the Hart Family member’s name for WWE Hall of Fame induction, pointing to the fact that Rey Mysterio was inducted while still on the active roster:
“I can’t wait for one of the women to do it, like Nattie. If you look at Nattie’s resume and what she’s done, and how long she’s been here. I would love to see her one day be inducted to the Hall of Fame, but still be able to go in and have a match of WrestleMania, like Rey Mysterio. I just love when they can be inducted into the Hall of Fame. but they’re still backstage with us.”
“She’s Already A Legend” – Bianca Belair On Natalya
Continuing, Belair heaped praise on the former Total Divas star, saying that she keeps the roster going.
“She keeps going and if you look at what she’s accomplished, and how she’s still here, and she can still accomplish more and like she’s in the Guinness Book of World Records, the amount of matches she’s had, who she’s the people that she’s been in the ring with. I mean, I think that she’s not a legend in the making, she’s already a legend, and she’s still going.”
Paul Heyman was the first inductee revealed for the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame, soon followed by Bull Nakano and The US Express. On March 11th, WWE announced that Muhammad Ali would also be entering the WWE Hall of Fame.
In another recent interview, Belair pitched an iconic moment for WrestleMania 40.
