Natalya Reveals Why She Had Red Hair When She Debuted In WWE

October 1, 2022

Natalya has been a member of the WWE roster for almost 15 years and has built a hall of fame-worthy career in the process.

A member of the WWE Universe sent Nattie a tweet with images from her 2008 debut and how she currently looks in 2022. The Queen of Harts responded by telling a story about how she was asked to dye her hair red before her debut, so she didn’t look like Beth Phoenix. Tweeting out:

“So many things about the picture on the left. I was asked to dye my hair red so I didn’t look like Beth Phoenix. I hated this color of hair on me! I didn’t have much *money bag emoji*, so I got the outfit at Bebe Sport and glued on a bunch of crystals myself *facepalm emoji* The glowup has been real..sorta *winking face with tongue sticking out emoji*,” Natalya said in a tweet.

Speaking as a veteran of the WWE locker room, Natalya was recently asked what advice she’d give to young and rising talent. Nattie said the most important thing for them to do is find their passion.

“The most important thing I can give anyone is to find your passion,” Natalya said. “I think that’s so important. And that’s the secret weapon and the most important ingredient in succeeding in this. If you don’t feel this in your heart, and you’re not passionate about this, and you’re not willing to put in the work. It’s not something for the faint of heart. This is extremely hard. This is a career and it’s very grueling. It’s very rewarding, but you have to love this. And if you don’t feel it in your heart and you don’t have that passion, this isn’t the right place for you. And so for me, especially when I go to NXT the one thing that I really look for anything is that passion. The passion will take you to the top.”
